謝謝張會長時常有好介紹。但我的結論是這些大減價是針對我們這些bibliophiles的促銷手法，是很大的陷阱！我們往往買了「抵買」的書，而不是「需要」的書。理智一點應該只買一些肯定自己會看的書或長青的參考書才對。 :em2:

真的很對！我起初挑了五本，但後來一本一本減掉，連最後一本都放棄了。因為郵費要10元，那麼我可以在Amazon一起買其他書。

有朋友向我提出了他自己的買書格言：如半年內都預料不會看的，就不要買。忍手啊！

不過，想到華文的出版，太多人忍手，就不是好事了。讀者太少，若買的人都少，就沒有人會寫華文的書了。

噢，不好意思，其實我本人已絕少買書，但不太清楚減價書的內容，以為可能會對別人有用。

我自己的做法是：先到圖書館借了那本書，如果發現真的是要常常用而不是只借不看的話，那麼我便會等到有大減價時買那本書。:D

這個的確是個很不錯的措施，值得學起來。:em2:

那是從貧苦讀書生涯和年年搬家的慘痛經驗中得出來的教訓:p
(搬書真的是一件十分吃力的事情！)
