Hard cover books got really expensive, I’ve decided that I can wait a year for the paperback to come out for many series that I had been following.

"Hard cover books got really expensive..."

And how!!

*Just* went to Amazon 5 minutes before reading your comment.
Wanted the hard cover version of an excellent book I'm presently reading, a gift for someone I know come Christmas.
Soft cover: $12.00
Hard cover: $49.00.
Unreal.

It's not just a financial issue, it's a SPACE issue - you can shelve three paperbacks in the same space a hardback takes up. I'm getting hardbacks from the library, then if I still want it when it comes out in paperback, I'll pick one up using my Borders coupon.
