I just got E. Kamke's Theory of Sets and Chess Moves And Tactics Simply Explained by Leonard Barden (Going to Russia in a couple weeks to visit in-laws and need to get prepared), both for under $15.00!!!

Sorry to sound like a commercial but I can't stop buying these.

Totally :)

Sometimes I'll go to the local Chapters and just look strictly for Dover books. You can get a handful of great classics for 10 bucks!

Often the books are only $2 - 3 and sometimes even cheaper!

I love Dover :)

Hardly addicted

I can stop anytime, right?? so get off my case. I've only bought ten copies of Bierce's " Devil's Dictionary" in the past three years, so that's hardly addicted. Besides, I can send a book at Xmas and Mother's day, for less than the cost of a 'greeting card' TM registered.
 
No doubt!

That is how I obtained the bulk of my chess and (recreational) math books came from.

What are Dover books?

Where can they be found?

Try http://store.doverpublications.com

Look at the science and maths section, they have quite distinctive covers, you'll probably recognise the style.

Dover also have my undying gratitude for publishing all of Charles Fort's books in one handy volume.
 
go to:

http://www.doverpublications.com

and search for your favorite subject/author.

They reprint literature, history, and science books, a lot of things that would otherwise be hard to find. For instance they have "Alice's Adventure Underground" by Lewis Carroll (not to mention alot of his forgotten books, i.e. Symbolic Logic). The best are Dover Thrift Editions. Madame Bovery for a couple bucks can't be beat.



Oops, James M beat me to it.
 
Here in New York City, Dover has a little-known store on the 9th floor of an office building where you can browse through nearly all of the books they publish, and purchase many of them at a discount if they're damaged or something (it's almost like an outlet store).

It's at 180 Varick (in SoHo) on the 9th Floor. And just as a caviat: I haven't been there in about 4 years, so it's possible it's been closed or relocated or something.

Is this good old Ben Dover you people are talking about?:D

If not I'm in the wrong thread.
