mostly depend on 3 things:
the budget
the shelf space
my husband's good humorthe last one's not usually a big deal unless the other two are. my hubby likes books alot and that's partly why we love each other. that and maps.
anyway, how badly i want the book has no bearing, because whenever i want a book, i want it badly.
then, every few years, when my shelves are bursting, i go through the books and find some to trade back to my local bookseller for store credit. (or i might give all or some to a charitable org.) i keep ones that i feel i'll want to read again, or that are a good reference, or that are particularly high-quality editions.
