Always happens - the latest so often come out in hardback before Christmas. Now and then I pick up a £4 paperback in the supermarket - noticed the other day that they're now nearly all hardbacks at £10 odd - inc. a John Grisham I'd have bought otherwise.
It's not just the money. I hate hardbacks - they're too heavy to read in bed!

I have hundreds of books in the garage, was going to phone one of the charity shops to collect them, but saw a fresh one opened in town yesterday, Global something, dedicated to getting people to read more, so I went in and offered them the books, to be told that they can`t collect, so one of the other shops will get them now.
I do buy from Waterstones and W.H.Smith, but mostly from Amazon and The Works, I can`t afford full price too often.
