When I was young I didn't go to a lot of bookstores...but as I ventured out on my own, I came across Half Price Books. Whoa. To someone who likes to read but has little money, this place is a dream. Most books are current, so you don't have to rifle through musty books from the 70s (although they have the classics of course). I can generally find what I want if it's a popular book. Lots of self-help, literature, art, design, health, etc. My friend goes there for the cookbooks. They have software, VHS, and DVDs and CDs too. You can tell them what book you and when it comes in, they will give you a call.
Plus, half price!!
