But I do buy many used books since there are a lot of people out there who buy books, don't use them and get rid of them :-) I stay away from obviously "used" cookbooks with food samples on them.

I actually have too many cookbooks from yard sales, estate sales and good old fashioned Amazon.com. I'm definitely looking at purging some in the near future.

Plus, most culinary techniques have not changed since the days of Carême and Escoffier. You may even find an MFK Fisher if you are lucky! There are classics that never go out of style.
