    the neighbors were throwing out some Dale Carnegie books, which i promptly took.

    and my most recent purchase was a used textbook - physiology of sport and exercise, 3rd edition. the shipping was more expensive by like $2. total came out to around $7. a great steal

    WE have a rockin used book store down here called Edward McKay's. I adore the place. They have the best societal outcasts working there. The music is always some indie music that I have not always been introduced to yet. I love the way its set up. I love the trading in system.

    It just makes me happy.

    I bought this one used book from a garage sale, and it had a pressed rose in it once. Another book I bought used had this kid's hockey clippings from newspaper articles from the late 80s in it. I read how much a carton of milk cost back then on the back of the articles and stuff. It was magic.

    I love used books too, but at the moment they don't seem to love me. I've been trying to find used books for my classes in bookstores, and it's not going so well. They just don't have too many French books laying around in bookstores in Ontario. I should really look for them online I suppose.

    On the road, I always trade books with other people. It is a great way to both get new books to read and to discover new writers you never heard about.
