I certainly wouldn't buy all our kids books brand new.

I do buy a couple of the hard cover classics.

I buy a heap from thrift stores. This is probably the majority.

We go to the library when we can.

I also pirate and print some.

Do you not have access to books from when you were a kid? That's what mom did until she could buy new books.

Yeah, you'll be handed a ton of books from relatives and friends if you ask openly

Sorry, I guess the context is that none of those things we kept from when I was a child.

With kids paraphernalia there's the cheap stuff that gets worn out quickly and discarded, and the expensive stuff that might last more than a generation. We had the items in the former category.
