Hunting for Used Book Stores
Anyone who knows me also knows that I am crazed when the public libraries have their book sales. However, those seem so few and far between. This past weekend we had a chance to wander through several used bookstores in Wisconsin. I love the idea, but there wasn't much for someone in search of a book other than a thriller or a classic. I was hoping when I got home that I would be able to do a quick search and find some local used bookstores. No such luck, at least not close to me. So I guess until I hit the big time and have the money to open my own shop, online used bookstores are the way to go. Which ones are the best? If anyone knows, please drop me a comment.

I'm too picky to trust an online used bookstores. I want to see it and feel it and make sure it's not smelly or food-encrusted or flea bitten.
Ewww...there's a thought while I have my coffee, haha!
We have a great local used book shop. Never bought any online...other than PBS.
I wanted to ask you what Emma is reading this year?
Right now she is doing short stories, but soon she'll be reading The Chosen by Chaim Potok, The Pearl by Steinbeck, and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Ernest Gaines(there are a couple more, but I can't remember at the moment).
