If I can wait, I buy them used in  hardcover from a local used bookstore or within the first week of release they ussually give a 25% off cover price discount. Still a bit of money even with the discount, but it beats waiting forever.
The used book route is the way to go... ussually able to get them in hardcover for slightly more than paperback prices and still in great shape.
The books releases are ussually fewer and more time between than the toys, so it evens out in the end.
And when you cant find figs or ships, you buy what you can get.

I just see Hasbro's continued fiascos as ways for me to shore up my book funds. They sure did get me some ships this year, but outside of a few ESB Vintage waves I can buy me a few SW books.

yeah, I take advantage of used book stores if I find a deal or if there is a book I just can't wait for. I haven't tried the library yet but I might do that. The only other bad thing about Hardbacks is that they don't fit in with the rest of my Paperback collections so I end up selling them/Getting ripped off at the Used bookstore. It's a vicious cycle.

I wish I would have found this site last summer cuz I just got rid of about 20 hardbacks and got ripped off. I would have given them to you instead of basically given them to the used book store. I just got tired of them taking up space. Actually I like hardbacks if I am at home reading but since I usually take my books to work and read them at breaktime, they are a little too big.

Well, at least you found us and now you don't have to hit rock bottom on your hardbacks. Dummy me, I forget how it ended or something that happened and then I have to reread my books. It drives my wife nuts.

That's what I use Wookiepedia for. It refreshs my memory and it's also helpful to look up characters and species and droids.

Wookiepedia sure didn't seem to get the book ending right of that Darth Bane book I spoiled for you though. I am about ready to see if I can find some contact info. for the author and just ask directly.

That is a great series.... mainly because it is the first insight and return of Boba Fett, along with more of Dengar.
Very good read in my honest opinion.

I read the Mandalorian War Trilogy twice. I liked it.  I have heard people talking trash about it. Nobody will ever agree 100% about anything though.

I need to get that series. I bet I would like it.

Currently I am reading the Warcraft series. The first book is ok, lots of action and I really do like Richard Knaak.

I just finished the 1st 3 books of the Fate of the Jedi series since they just released the 1st 3 in Paperback. I like this series. If you are a fan of the Legacy Comic book series as I am, you will definitely like it because I can definitely see where it's all heading.
