There's not a lot of news here, and he forgets to list half.com, my fave source of used-book crack, but it's a thoughtful post that may help you get to the root of your book spending. (Non-readers, please ignore...)

This may seem obvious, but it’s taken me a long time to learn. I tend to want to <I>own</I> any book of interest. This is a huge money sink if the books remain unread.
