I used "used books" for reference in my writing. I mark the books internally, I insert page markers, etc. into them for quick reference to relevant text.

The typical rate at Amazon is $4.00 total shipped to my door. No tax, and 3% off the card bill.

I expect eventually that there will be fewer used paper books as people buy less paper books in general. Then prices will increase because of short supply.
