Much of what goes into a book is probably unnoticed by me, but it seems lately that the price of quality hard cover books has significantly increased-which has me wondering how much is too much for you? I won't lie, I tend to buy on the second hand market so I rarely pay list price for a book. (Generally speaking I tend to buy at half to a third of the list price.) But what seems like a fair range for a core book to you? Why?

I've tried using PDF's more, and more-but they currently lack portability for me. (I can't bring things to work, or access computers at work.) Until then I'm all about the dead tree, which I can take various places with me. (The loo, the gym, etc...)
