They buy back books for most of the year, so every time we walk in there is a new addition. You can buy paperbacks for half-price and hardbacks for as much as 70% off. They have a great selection, ranging from biographies and history books to literary novels and mysteries. They also have a separate room for collectible classics and children's books.
Do you have a local used bookstore? A bit of research online may help you find a local hidden gold mine!

Loved this post (and your illustrations!). Harvard Book Store in Cambridge is a favorite for their used book basement -- so many gems found there.
ReplyDeleteThat used book basement sounds so delightful! Thanks for your compliments about my photos. They're the among the first I've ever taken with my camera.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your second hand book store. We have a few here but they aren't as packed or as pretty as yours. Always worth going in and having a look round though.
ReplyDeleteoh dorothy i wanna go with you!!! i could spend delicious hours in a used book shop. i always go to the classics and hope to score a dedication -- my favorite find was "pride and prejudice" when i needed it most (it was a sign): http://dolcevitamicaela.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-needed-day-off.html i get teary-eyed just reading that again :(
ReplyDeletebut my last bookshop purchase were these and on happier terms ;) :
