i work in the state art gallery ! they give them away for free there are so many ... we also have lots of random books on tibetan buddism which have accumulated because no one wants to take them lol
ibb.co/TM0qV0vi get lots of art books from my work so getting through the coffee table type ones definitely seems like less of a chore. where do you work and can i work there too? good art books are $$ af. taschen recently had a flash sale, and i managed to get a few sweet deals.

art books seem to be neglected in lots of university libraries, but yes, obviously i can find some art books that way (hardly a gazillion). owning and borrowing a book of art you like are two very different things, however. borrowing is great for getting to know the work of one artist (or a time period/ movement/ other category); owning allows you to be surrounded by the work of artists that inspire you, and reference at a moment's notice. having them next to each other also allows for a dialogue to unfold between the art, and shape your own creative ideas. well, I also recommend used bookstores. all of my art books are used. A big glossy one might go for the same price as a new paperback. ($15)

as soon as im on sem break, i'd like to request these from my uni library: - silo series by hugh howey (i read them in primary school, but they finally got around to making the books into telly on appletv+ so i'd love to go back before i watch)
- the basic eight (bc of roxy ˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗)
- they also have DH's adverbs, watch your mouth, and why we broke up, but they all have pretty shonky reviews so if anyone has any recs on which are worth reading that'd be sick
(no longer 2022, but i didn't want to bump this thread)

watch your mouth is the only good “Daniel Handler” novel, imho. the basic eight is good for what it is…. (YA salsa)
