Do you prefer brand new books or book that have been used and worn out books
I don’t like ripped books but I’ll read used books and brand new books.
NEW
I feel too much energy from any used book it needs to be new for me
@Kat same!!!
Right-!!
I prefer books under $5, so more often then not, I buy used.
Doesn’t matter to me. A books a book!
Used <3 They smell great and you can see how loved they are.
A book is a book
I get my books from the library so always used and fine with me
New book smell is the best, but I usually get used books as they’re so much cheaper
Yes
I love them all with the exception of spills/stains or broken spines. If they’re old and taken care of, that’s wonderful because they have a history.
As long as all the pages are intact I don’t care. ?♀️
New! I’m OCD about cleanliness.
If I were rich I would buy new books. I do not mind old books as long as they do not smell bad.
Either , doesn’t matter to me .
Depends on the price!
Both!!! But the used ones can’t smell like smoke.
i like reading either new or used.
New
I get geeked when I find unbelievable deals on good titles at thrift shops or rummages. Used.

I like used books. Although if I know I will keep the book I get new sometimes.
New
Used, but not gross. I feel like I’m killing fewer trees
Used and new books,, Used books only in good condition
I don’t have a preference.
New
I wish I could get new books, but I can’t afford them.
I like lots of books so used works for me, although I feel a tad guilty that the author doesn’t get paid twice.
I prefer new, cause there’s nothing like that new book smell! ?
New
If I don’t plan on keeping the book then it doesn’t matter to me. Now books I plan on keeping that are by my fav authors, then new. But in the end it really doesn’t matter to me.
Both. 🙂
I like all of them. No picky about books. I have a lot of old first editions from my grandma and mom.
New ones cause I write and underline on mine
Used!
I prefer a good binder
Either.
New so the author gets paid so they can write more books.
Don’t care
Depends on the book but usually new and I like to keep them looking new
Brand new
Both ?
both
Books!!
Used- feel like they tell a story all of their own cause they were someone else before yours
Both
@Sammantha ALL THE BOOKS!!! ????
Both
New. I dont like my books to be bent and worn unless its because Ive owned them for a long time.
Worn! Then I don’t feel like I need to be so careful. Besides, wrinkles on books (and me!!!) mean love and a life well lived!!
I go back n forth. Right now I prefer new.
Both!
Both.

Either, I’m not picky
Hardcover. I will take used or new.
Used and well worn
I just got a lot of books at Changing Hands, they sell used books that are good quality and for sooo cheap. They also have new books. So I don’t really mind either
My favorite is a $1 non-fiction book find in a thrift store that is well read with underlinings and marginalia; a well read book is worth it´s weight in gold.
Both but when it comes to buying, I prefer used, because I can get more ?
Both
I prefer books lol….

I don’t mind
I like used books, but I like them to be in good condition.

New, if I am going to keep the book and not trade it later. Otherwise I’ll buy it gently used
New
I liked both..
They both have different yet wonderful smells too.
I love brand new books. But cannot always afford that fancy pleasure so im quite ok with used books that not worn out too much ?
I just like books. Dont care if they are new, old, in between, etc
Either
Both and i love the second hand ones more if they’ve been dog eared✔
I have learned alot from the past looking at a book and it’s previous owner,
It tells a story too??☺️
Either one..if I like a book used or new, I’ll read it!
I prefer new but will easy buy used to save money.
I love new books but will buy used books
Both
Both
I’m a book omnivore. I love ’em all!
I would say new
I collect antiquarian books, so no avoiding worn out stuff here! But it’s still both for me
New , because I add them to my library after I read them. Where they can be loaned or reread.
second hand books new ones are too expencive
Brand new or a worn out book/hand down doesn’t matter…if you haven’t read it it’s still new to you
Either. Free is best! Thanks to my library!
Either just so it is a physical book.
Both
Brand new

I buy mostly new books, but I don’t mind used ones as long as they’re clean.
New but if used books have a clean spine and are in good condition then I’m not against it.
Makes no difference to me. But I do love that new book smell! ??
Prefer brand new books to be honest
I perfer brand new .. Sometimes its really expensive so i have to settle for used
Prefer books that has history in it but still in good condition. Makes me feel like I might have a connection to a wonderful bookworm from a different generation/era. Heehee
@Flay Yah those were the good old days /era when Moses was bringing the tablids down from Ararat ????
Both…I love the smell of a fresh book as much as the book whose secrets have been shared.
Either. I buy a lot from ebay and our local cancer charity shop.
Doesn’t matter – bring on the books!
I prefer brand new books for current reads – but I
love and collect vintage books.
Just what’s inside. Beauty is in the eye….
No worn out torn up books. But I’ll take brand new books and used books if they’re in good shape.
NEW
New or used but in very good condition.
Both
Doesn’t matter to me at all
Not bothered as long as there are readable
Not matter if I can read it and paper are not too yellow or don’t have bindings which hide few words
yes
Both!
Brand new
I like both, but there is something about a book which has been read and enjoyed by a lot of other people. Love it if I buy second hand books which have a personal message in them.
Used usually
