They charge too much, so I can't walk out with a crapload in my arms. They charge $4 for paperback, unless it's from like the early 80s. And yet they wonder why they get so little business?!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083327647412477394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1116550641936911152005-05-19T20:57:00.000-04:002005-05-19T20:57:00.000-04:00I'm familiar with BookCrossing, Mo, and think it's...I'm familiar with BookCrossing, Mo, and think it's a fine idea.

(authors either love it, or hate it - there seems to be no middle ground)<BR/><BR/>*For anyone who's unfamiliar with the site, the main idea is to "make the whole world a library". Check it out!

Pocket gnomes steal those waaaay too often. I'm thinking something slim and flexible -- something that could be slipped between the pages of a book to keep track of it.<BR/><BR/>Man, that'd be sweet, wouldn't it?<BR/><BR/>I love used bookstores, but it's all about the thrill of the hunt. Online might be more efficient, but it's also less fun.<BR/><BR/>--ChrisMikesellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522375368851193970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1116534951398051052005-05-19T16:35:00.000-04:002005-05-19T16:35:00.000-04:00Ah, gee.

I use used bookstores to check out old backlists, check out authors I'm not sure of, or to pick up big name authors who are likely to have had people buy their book up fast and then send it on to the ubs. <BR/><BR/>I still spend plenty on new, but I love browsing used bookstores.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716785419172270884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1116524309011435152005-05-19T13:38:00.000-04:002005-05-19T13:38:00.000-04:00I love used book stores and judge the quality of a...I love used book stores and judge the quality of a town by the presence of a used book store. We have a nice used bookstore here in Manhattan (Kansas) called The Dusty Bookshelf -- and it even has cats that walk around in it. I found a delightful little store in Chicago a couple of weeks ago called, appropriately, Books. Going to a used book store is an adventure.<BR/>Lindalindaruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641353710444426267noreply@blogger.com
