I actually enjoyed most of my textbooks but I get what you're saying. I'll skip books I bought for my job, too. I paid about $20 for Making Money by Terry Pratchett when it first came out. It's a Discworld novel following up on Going Postal, which as of now is my favorite book in that series. So if I were really anticipating it, I'd go with $20. My usual limit is somewhere around $5-$6 though.
