Love that term, "Obsessive Book Buyers Disorder," Joy! May I offer some ideas to feed your addiction? Whenever I'm in Des Moines, I love to go to "Half Price Books" and pick up between $50-$80 worth of used books for my classroom. They have franchises all over the place (http://www.halfpricebooks.com/find_a_store.html)and they offer a 10% teacher discount. Most of you have probably heard of these stores, but being from a small town, I was ecstatic when I found this place! I'm somewhat glad I don't have one of THOSE stores closer to where I live, or my addiction would be seriously out of control.
Also, if you're into organizing your library, check out http://www.librarything.com. It offers a cataloging service. Free for up to 200 titles, $25 for lifetime membership with unlimited titles. And you can "tag" books by typing in "inferences" or "questioning" so you can remember which titles you liked from one year to the next. Wondering what other "OBBD" resources are out there? Please share!
