(Not a help for this month...)Would it be better to have a maximum price for an (e) book, say $4-6? There's also second- hand books. I hardly buy new anymore.

I opted for a pbook from my library, in Lowe-Porter's translation: I'll have to do without the dialect
More in general, however, I agree that we should have thought about this before hand: I do think this is what we generally do, this time with the Buddenbrooks in particular we were a bit hasty. May it be worth that a condition for nomination is indication of where to get the book from? So even when voting people may take availability/price into consideration.
Again, up to sunsurfer to decide.
