Buying Sefer

Question:

Can I buy a sefer during the three weeks and if yes, can I buy it even during the nine days?

Answer:

During the three weeks it is permitted, but not large purchases that one would make a shehechiyanu on it. During the nine days we may only buy seforim that are needed for learning during the nine days.
