Years ago I bought a book with all the plates of the Art Deco Figurines by Chiparus and Lorenzl etc. It was very expensive. Also the History of Dancing as an Art Form .

Other than textbooks for Uni (which are always expensive) I always think twice about spending more than £20 (about $40) on a book. I did spend just over £20 on a second hand copy of Cave Birds by Ted Hughes. Only 60 pages long. Only got writing on half the pages... It's a beautiful book though. :)
