Adventures in the Amazon Bargain Book Bin: March 8, 2012

By: Noelle

I admit it: I spend at least a couple hours a month in the Amazon Bargain Book section. I just can't resist the feeling of stumbling across $2 hardcovers of my favorite books. The section also lures me into giving books I hadn't planned to read a chance (totally eclipsing my book budget: resistance is futile). There is also the fun of discovering completely insane book covers. Screen-printed flapper dress The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite "what the..." discoveries.  I generally look for hardcovers under $10,  paperbacks under $7 and e-books under $5.

Just in case clicking through 100 pages of book links isn't your thing, here is what caught my eye this month.
