I'd like to add (therefore I'm) that I almost never buy new books, just the used ones. Have been burned too many times by publishers who create books with weak ink density, too-small type size, and crap-quality paper/binding --- let alone poor editing. The latest example of p.e. is Adrian Addison's "Mail Men," a history of the UK newspaper, The Daily Mail (2017). 374 pages; 90% of the time, anything over 300 pages indicates that the publisher skimped on paying for quality editing. MM is typical of that 90%.
