these went into my arms... i scored on the pretty hardcover copy of Great Expectations and the second one is Delta of Venus: Erotica by Nin.
confession: sometimes i buy books because of their pretty covers.
all of these for $8.
a well spent delicious hour at a book sale at my favorite used bookshop.

That quote? Story of my life.
Having a pretty cover is totally a valid reason to buy a new book! That's marketing at work :)
Beautiful!!! I love all of the books you got ;) And for $8!!!! Utter shock ;W I might ask you to get me some next time ;) Oh and buying books because of the beautiful cover is always a must!!! ;) Love you my beautiful sister xoxoxo
Love this! I'm a sucker for covers too, sometimes. And of course I have Delta of Venus. I'm curious as to what you'll think of her erotica. She wrote it to make money, mostly, and it's interesting reading "old fashioned" erotica--very different that contemporary erotica. Love you!
fantastic. i love it!
Oh, those are some exceptionally pretty covers -- well done!
When I saw this on Facebook, it totally put a smile on my face! I love your purchases. :))))
i ALWAYS buy for the pretty covers!!
everything about this post delights me!
Bravo!!
Some of my favorite books were initially bought because of pretty covers. True story. ;)
LOVE!
I own so many books that I've never read, simply because I adored the covers!

I completely agree!I have no room for new books but I can't help buying them :)

I sometimes buy books because of their beautiful cover too (it can be a disappointment sometimes though so that makes me sad). But love your new buys. Oh to go thrifting and second hand book shopping with you. x
I practically live in second-hand book stores. I just have to figure out where to put the books when I get home...
