I haven't been to a used book store in a while, but I do enjoy them. Sometimes I can find better variety of my favorite types of books than even regular book stores. I also once bought several books off of a friend that he didn't want anymore (like 10 books for 20 bucks). Another friend offered to GIVE away several manga to me even though I offered to pay for them. She's cool. Another friend seems to read books only once and give them away, so I offer those books a good home.
