I was trying to weed out my Amazon "save for later" list and realized a few of those books had been on it for years - and were likely to stay that way.
For instance, Wayne Barlowe's Inferno. Lovely fantasy art book. At two hundred dollars, completely out of my price range. The Anthropologist's Cookbook. This one sounds like so much fun, but the Kindle edition is $180.
I don't see what to do about these, other than to keep them on Amazon so I can be notified if the prices go down any, though they'd have to be discounted big-time to make a difference. And occasionally I find a great deal in thrift stores and used bookstores (a copy of Joe McGinniss's Blind Faith, over twenty dollars via Amazon.ca, for $3.50). Anyone else want books they can't afford, and if so, what are the books?
