What book store did you go to. I know someone moving to Seattle and wanting to find a great book store!
Half Price Books. I went to the one in the Crossroads/Bellevue area and the one in downtown Redmond. There's one in the University District, one in Everett and one down in Tacoma. They're a great place for used books!!! There's tons of great bookstores in Seattle. I also went to the Goodwill in downtown Seattle on Dearborn.
Thank you! I will pass all of these onto him!
Also Third Place Books in Forest Hills area is a good one. They have lots of author events.
Thanks baby cakes, you're a doll!

Ooops, I meant Lake Forest Park.
Today the mailman delivered a nice 1st printing hardback of The Holland Suggestions by John Dunning. It's an ex-library but in really good shape (dj is like new!). It's Dunning's first novel and hard-to-find. Got it cheap on thriftbooks.com

While waiting for EOW to release here in Philippines (which is tooooooo slow), i brought myself these following books in a used bookstore. And i'm so happy! (except to the Dr. Seuss one, the saleslady give it to me as a gratitude for being a best customer )
Ps. Altho i alread read all dan brown books, i wish to have my own copy, used or not because i only borrow dan brown books in my library. And i only scanned and read it as fast as I can because the three borrowing days is not enough. For me.

Thanks!
I saw the trailer while i'm watching in my home and i just screamed "HOLY S**T YES!"
I found this at a tiny little used book store in downtown Sunnyslope (its a region within Phoenix). It was a quarter mile from my apartment and I had never even seen it. The store was a labyrinth of collectible books. Some unique editions mixed in with everything else! Yes, I couldn't resist getting this one to re read, but there was so much else to return for. (I see the fragment and I'm leaving it there)
Jonathan Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany ( although I lost my Wednesday work shift a result) and Night Shift
I hit that little store again today in the hopes of finding a book that I need for a book club, but walked out with a copy of Desperation for fifty cents plus a few children's books. Here is the funny part of the story: Next stop-grocery store
I look for the book I need in their tiny book section, currently being stocked by its person. The gentleman asks me if I'm looking for a book. .
"Yes", I hesitate because I cannot remember the name of this book club book. The associate hands me End of Watch,
"This is my last copy! You know, Stephen King is a really popular author?"
Ummm- I hadn't heard. Who?
". .I know but I've read that one, thanks for the recommendation though!"
