Sydney uni bookfair

I'm going tomorrow for a bit. I'm mainly looking for philosophy and poetry, how did those sections look?

>>10000246
That looks incredible. Unfortunately I'm a Melbourne-fag so I get nothing. My University (La Trobe, laugh if you want I deserve it) has a couple of cool guys who come and sell books on Thursdays but never anything like this. I'd stack my room up to the ceiling if I had access to that place.

Are many of the books quality or are they battered, stained and damaged copies?

Don't be a poof.

Do a trade.

>>10000292
The philosophy section got hollowed out pretty quickly. Definitely some good stuff there.

The poetry section at the back is pretty big, so you probably won't be disappointed.

>>10000373
Mostly good quality but some are damaged yes.

>>10000371
Hey, just recently arrived in Melbourne, anywhere you'd recommend for stocking up on books? Haven't quite got the lay of the land yet

I hate ex libris… I can't stand all these stamps and stupid students writing in books.

>>10000663
Yeah it's hit and miss. Depends how rare the volume is.

>tfw you go to swinburne

literally a cultural dead zone

I study film and when the lecturers ask the class what everyone's favourite film is a good 2/3s of them pick a post-millenial tentpole movie and/or something Disney had its sticky fingers in

can i be redeemed friends

>>10000766
Do well in what you're doing and then transfer. To Monash or Melbourne Uni if you can.

>>10000789
nah i just want to graduate with my bachelor's then go work

>>10000796
Well you could graduate at a better uni.

>>10000796
…and what do you expect to do with a bachelor in movie studies?

>>10000602
My hands are weak and clumsy and only suited for turning pages. I honestly wish I could do one.

>>10000655
95% of my reading is done through pirating Epubs and reading them off of my Kobo. The other 5% is my university's library (pretty good selection even though nobody reads them but me) and what I buy cheaply from the Thursday guys.

>>10000766
I think my friend went there for something like a month before dropping out because it's a useless poz-hole (he may not have used those exact words, but that was the sentiment expressed).

FUCK LA TROBE AND YOUR DUCKS

>>10001064
La Trobe is a shithole but the ducks are okay. I don't really mind them and I hate most things. I did almost punt one one time though. It was brazenly walking across a footpath made for use by men when I was late for class and had a headache. Little shits think they own the place.

>Girl.

>>10000246
Looks beautiful. Also, are you in this thread Clover?

>>10004747
Top left is definitely a good read, although the edition is probably not worth too much. If you paid more than, say, 3 USD / book average you were definitely ripped off.
