Oh, yes let’s let perfection be the enemy of good.
It’s a rare thing I can’t get from my Library (mostly music and some movies), but anything educational and it’s there.
I regularly check out DVD collections from The Teaching Company of university courses - I’m talking Harvard, Columbia, etc. Currently have History of Western Civilization on deck for ripping. It’s 40 hours of lectures, the DVD collection would cost $1500 on the open market.
It’s one of dozens I’ve ripped for my own use, and converted to MP3 to listen when at gym or in the car.
Do your libraries not have a system to request books from other libraries? Not trying to be a jerk, I just have looked for some obscure things before and sometimes they had to be requested from other libraries.
12£ is just the book, no shipping included.
Making a X10 markup on something you bought from a charity is infuriating imo
And sorry for finding basic capitalism infuriating.
0.0£ at your local library.
Ah yes, libraries. Those mega buildings with every book on Earth inside…
The picture shows ISBN 9781784708276
I search this to get the title: “Entangled Life - How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures”
I see £, so I’m going to assume it’s the UK. I picked Manchester as a city to search.
I search the book.
Seven 2021 versions, three 2020 versions, and audio book are available.
Which means even if it’s not available in OPs local library they could go to their library and get it on an interlibrary loan.

You’re right. Since they don’t have every book ever written, why bother even looking?
Lol.

The seller took the time and gas to go and get books from oxfam so that you could have it shipped to your house
If the shipping is more than 99p it would have been cheaper for you to buy it new.

I can also see multiple options for second hand between £5-£7.
Or as others have said, there’s the library.
It was your choice to pay near original price + shipping for second hand
I’m curious, why are you putting the £ symbol after the number and not before?
I’m sorry I’m not English so I’m used to Euros, I wasn’t sure if the £ was supposed to be before or after
