Duplicate Books, Anyone?

A recent experience of mine taught me an invaluable lesson when you’re in love with books — don’t judge a book by its cover. Really, it’s a cliche line that’s almost irritating to hear, but I guess I didn’t pay attention to it the first hundreds of times I heard it.

Result? A duplicate book — Tangled Webs of Elaine Cunningham, part of the Starlight and Shadows saga of Forgotten Realms. My only consolation was that at least, it’s a good enough book to have a duplicate of. Tangled Webs is my first ever duplicated non-acad book, making it utterly special.

Seeing that many of us KEEGsters (or SK33G? or 5K33G? bleh.) are bibliophiles, allow me to pose this question — have you ever (unwillingly) bought a duplicate book? If so, what did you do with it? But maybe the question my subconscious really wants to ask is, is it perfectly normal for a book lover to commit this kind of mistake?

Your thoughts please.
