Oh, sweetness! I found another
used books - CD's - DVD's - LP's - Cassettes store today. Who knows how long it's been two doors down from
Best Buy and I never bothered to investigate it. For some reason, I always assumed it was just selling used/discontinued textbooks.
.
The vinyl selection is so-so. The DVD selection is above average, which was quite useful in tracking down some of the obscure movies Jason wants for Xmas. But the books...
.
Ah, the books! Which is its main
raison d'être. The cost of any book is half its original list price. I got
H. Beam Piper's Little Fuzzy for less than a buck
(because it was published in the 1960's) and
Mark Billingham's debut murder/mystery novel
Sleepyhead. I've been looking for both of these for months.
.
Best of all are the stacks and stacks of "overflow" paperbacks.
$1 each. Liz scarfed up a half-dozen $1 chick-lit novels
(Nora Roberts, et. al.) and I found a book by
Robert Harris, author of the very good murder-mystery alt-history novel
Fatherland.
.
The store is having a
"20% off everything" sale during the whole week between Christmas and New Year's Eve. I foresee significant
(and totally unnecessary) additions to my TBR shelf before the year is out.
