More on Trading Books

Sometimes it is the obvious that is the easiest to overlook. While deciding whether to "break down" and shell out $50 for another heavily touted book on trading, I happened to look it up in the computer at the public library. Sure enough, it was sitting on the library shelf! And also, as is too often the case, it turned out to be of marginal value and after reading it, decided I would save myself the $50. Take care of the "pennies" and the dollars take care of themselves.

Although many trading books are only available via a catalog, I have found that Barnes and Noble book stores do have many of these books at 10% off retail and no shipping, and you can be reading them that same day (it seems most catalogs charge full retail plus shipping on top of that) and save money!

I'm willing to bet that there are many traders out there with books on trading they have read once or twice which are now gathering dust on their bookshelves. Meanwhile, someone else (maybe someone in your own town) is preparing to dish out $25-$100 or more for the same book. Isn't there someway we could "recycle" these books among ourselves? Maybe we could be trading books and trading commodities.
