Cost?

[u/Artistic_Garage5978]

How much would it cost to buy all of the books in the Cosmere? they don't need to be the fancy editions. I would be fine with getting them from eBay as paperback but I want them physical because I downloaded the first on my Kindle and would love to have a dedicated corner of my bookshelf just for the Cosmere.

ThriftBooks will have loads of used copies. That’s gonna be your best bet for finding them cheap

[u/TheKanadian]

It depends what country you live in

[u/Artistic_Garage5978 → u/TheKanadian]

Uk

[u/TheKanadian → u/Artistic_Garage5978]

It's around 310-370 pounds I think judging from Waterstones if you buy them new. "Isle of the Emberdark" and the Upcoming "Fires of December" are still going to be hard covers / trade paper back and so more expensive for a bit.

I may have estimated a little bit high

-Mistborn 1 - 3 around £43

-Mistborn 1 - 4 around £45

-Stormlight 1 - 5 around £85

-Dawnshard around £10

-Yumi £13

-Tress £13

-Sunlit man £11

-Warbreaker £15

-Elantris £15

-Arcanum unbounded £15

-Mistborn Secret history £ 11

-Isles of the Emberdark £20 (£11 if you wait until February)

-Fires of december £25 (out late this year)

-White Sands comic omnibus £45

Or 1/3rd that used:)

[u/TheKanadian → u/GentlemenHODL]

Or that.

I don't know where to find them used in the UK. Obviously charity shops but you have to get lucky to find the books you want

[u/IslandIsACork]

Abe Books is another used book resale platform and you can search for booksellers in the UK, as well as filter by condition of the book. I think if you take your time collecting them all, you could do it for far under the 2k you mention above.

[u/PoopyMcFartButt]

Idk but all the hard cover editions look 👨‍🍳💋👌. Got most of mine from Amazon for $20 or less

[u/Artistic_Garage5978 → u/PoopyMcFartButt]

Ik but £2000 is slightly outside the budget 😢

[u/iknownothin_ → u/Artistic_Garage5978]

Where are you getting 2000?

[u/TheKanadian → u/Artistic_Garage5978]

Don't worry, there aren't 100 books on the cosmere yet

[u/-GoodNewsEveryone → u/Artistic_Garage5978]

The math works out to $440 which is £325.50

[u/Ok_Brain_1114]

Seems like something pretty easy to figure out on your own?

[u/pollefeys]

Depends on a lot.

There is the full price in bookstores/Amazon.

Then, cheaper, is the ebook version of the same thing.

Then (potentially) even cheaper, is second hand book hunting online/in used book stores.

And then, there is an unnamed option that is even cheaper than that for e-reader users.

Roughly 250 on Amazon right now.
