2015 Books, Artbooks, Manga, Comics Spending Tab

Since there seems to be a pretty good number of people who buys books, artbooks, and manga on this site, so made sense to just have one of these lists since I'll definitely contribute, and I know Pooky will as well. ;P

This thread of course includes other types of print you have purchased not listed in the title, like strategy guides.

$125 from local going out of business bookstore (92.5% off list)  (secretly hoping they increase discount on last day)

A third of the way into the month and I've already dropped $660 on manga. ~_~

That's a nice score congrats.

Spent $50 on getting last two Fear Itself's i needed to complete the set on eBay, lol. Wouldve been 60 on Amazon though, and it came in a bundle of 7 so hopefully can resell the other 5 to recoup some.

When I update my spending tab at the end of this month it's not going to look pretty.

I'm already at $3k, and there's so many days left in the month still... ~_~

Here we gooooo!

I am way cheaper than you when it comes to books.  Most of my books and comics come from thrift, yard and library sales.  I buy bags of books for a $1 from a secret undisclosed location.  Many of these books from the bag were traded in to a used media store last year for over $200 toward a PS4 and some classic games.  The rest that I don't want I sale at my yard sale and I donate all leftovers back to the thrift store or the library.  Posting my 2014 finds first.

2014 favorite book find. 



2014 some of the books I kept to hopefully read when I get the time.  Notice the collaboration between George Lucas and Chris Claremont. 


Comics and Strategy Guides next time.

Accursed ViZ media sale...

I already doubled my output from last month on the second day of this month. T___T

Last month was expensive as predicted. ~_~

9 bills? You love your Manga. Will you actually read all of it or is mostly just for collection purposes?

It's both.

I've actually been reading a lot of manga lately, and trying to make my way through the collection, but it "mysteriously" continues to grow. ;D
