Of course not.
Instead, I bought eleven (11) books. Just don't tell my wife. I did get the $10 off, and I used my Teacher discount (10%) on the other books, but I did get eleven new books. Mostly, these are reference books that I will be able to use in future research projects, such as the Qualitative Inquiry: A Dictionary of Terms
. Others are directly related to current projects (e.g. Human Behavior and the Social Environment: A Social Systems Model
) or teaching efforts (Business Intelligence For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))
). All in all, a good stock of materials and well worth the trip. My only regret is that some of the books were more expensive in person than I could have purchased them online (even with shipping). On balance, I'm pretty sure I got good value - especially with the coupons.*sigh* I may have to go back for more books next month, after they get a chance to restock. Maybe I'll have the bookshelves in by then.
