I Love Second Hand Book Stores

Second hand book stores are better than first hand ones I think. I got an iPad and can books on that but its not the same. I love the smell of a book, that musty old paper smell. The best used book stores are the ones that are a mess and packed full of books all over so you got to really look around. Its like being on a treasure hunt. You usually end up getting books you never thought you wanted. Its really cool if they are marked up with the name of the previous owner or it has sentences underlined so you have to wonder what that meant to someone else and why it was important. I think it adds to the whole experience of reading. Also everything is cheap, thats a bonus too.

@pagandad I live in a small town and I always go and check to see what they got at the thrift store but its a small section without much selection but still I check. I have to wait till we go into the city to find the used book stores and thats not that often so when I go its really exciting.
Totally agree, unfortunately a lot of places are shutting down now due to people going with technology , my favourite old bookstore is now a ladies clothing shop.馃槩

That's true, when you enter such a shop you see things that you don't imagine and it's better to go in different directions than usual

Sadly they are being driven out by the corporate chains.

I love it if they have a cd section.

I love second-hand book stores, too. There are several in my town. The ones that are the most fun, are the ones that have many small rooms with lots of nooks and crannies - shelves and bookcases lining every possible space. I can browse for hours on end.
Me too! I also find rare books at times
