[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3111170, member: 36230"]I'm certainly usually not one to argue against buying books, but in this case it's simply unnecessary. If you prefer them that's great, but your preference isn't necessarily the wisest choice for others. The issue here is Potter's garbage vs. what's available online for free and the fact is that there's simply no comparison or reason to pay for such misleading garbage when there's infinitely better and more convenient alternatives not costing a cent. Even if Potter's book was free it's best avoided; its sucker bait, plain and simple. Also, much has changed in this niche over the years and means that in some cases books once irreplaceable are no longer worth the price of admission unless buying as a collectible. The mentioned Wexler encyclopedia from 27 years ago is almost certainly one of them.[/QUOTE]
