	I own my books cause the books at the library are either written in or not there when you want them. I also tend to read my books again so im glad that they are there on my bookshelf (which is getting too full btw) and i can grab them anytime i want. So i prefer new and i also like comics which too but i have been getting them used.

	New, from the bookstore, and preferable in paperback. However, since I'm fifteen and therefore not legally old enough to have a job other than babysitting, I edn up going to the library for most books. The library gives me a lot of grief, though. I've had an amazing amount of problems with it -----signature----- "Not till the moon falls. Not till the world ends."

	One of the employee perks of the 'Huge Souless Retail' giant of a bookstore I work @ is an 'employee bookloan' program where you can check out a new hardcover book w/ a dust jacket so long as you sign and leave the dust jacket, how else would I be reading "Outbound Flight' right now? back when I was trying to catch up w/ SW EU ,I totally went to the library, they had a decent audio book library but they haven't botherd to update themselves recently - it sucks... -----signature----- I finks I broke mah liver.

	I prefer to own books, preferably older paperbacks. It's annoying having late fees. The Hooded Soul -----signature----- "Nonsense makes sense to the senseless mind"

	I buy all of my books. I think I've only read...maybe ten from the library. I do use the library's DVD collection, though. However, for books I hate libraries because you're not supporting the author and most libraries don't even bother to get the stuff that I like. It's all too mainstream. Plus I hate to know that other people have probably sneezed in the library book or taken it into the bathroom. Finally I just love the feeling of getting a brand new book. -----signature----- But in purple, I'm stunning!- Londo Mollari, Babylon 5

And I hear ya on the full bookshelf - I have one whole bookcase devoted to Star Wars books that is almost full and two other bookcases crammed tight with all my other books. -----signature----- Visit www.g-pop.net for all things entertainment!

	I prefer to buy new books. I like the freedom of taking my time and reading at my own pace (which tends to be extremely slow, by the way).

	I've not been to a Public-class library in . . . since mid-90s. I remember seeing some sci fi books like Dr Who in the children's section. It's been suggested to me I borrow books I ordinarily wouldn't like or buy, and a good one it is. But no way in Padme's breath will I if from a children's section. Still, I ought to see if things have changed. -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	It mainly depends on the author or subject matter. Authors I love I'll get hardback without a second thought. Authors I find to be more average or I have no experience with will get libraried or used copy. -----signature----- Winner of a Super Golden Ewok™ award. I name you Sword of the Jedi.
