I wish the old trend of 'wait a year and the price comes down' was true across the board. I bought a book for 10.99 last year, and that same book is 13.99 a year and a half later. It was a stinker too, so I am disgusted by even the price I paid for it. (It wasn't a penguin book, but I keep my eyes on prices of some books to see if "price goes down" in general).
Luckily I don't have that kind of cash kicking around, so sticking with library loans instead of gambling double digits away is easy to do.
