Exploding with books
Monday, December 12, 2005
Most people I know call Reader's Corner "that used bookstore with the books outside!". The store is absolutely overflowing with used books, which are mostly sold at 1/2 their cover price (with some exceptions). There is a tremendous range - from cooking books to Michelin travel guides to children's books to classics. This is normally one of my first stops trying to find used paperbacks when they're called for in English classes and the like. In a sense, the store is always open - there is a long set of book shelves along the front of the store packed with an odd assortment of books for a dime each. After hours, it is simply the honor system - drop money into a slot - and all the proceeds go to the local NPR station. Awesome!
