yendiBook Nook is moving! And the new location is walking distance from our house! They've only moved the DVDs, music, and a few books in so far, but they expect the move to be complete by November! Woohoo! Used books close at hand!
We're going to be so fucking broke.

Date: 2002-09-30 08:23 pm (UTC)I have to go to book nook someday. Never been. Maybe they have the missing book, the one I can't have. I ordered it used from amazon, they sent me the right title, wrong author. I found it on e-bay, set my max bid for $30, it went off over $40. I've found the one before and the one after it in the trilogy on used bookstore shelves for less than list price, but the middle book, I can't have. Matadora, by Steve Perry.

Date: 2002-09-30 10:47 pm (UTC)I find one mildly annoying side effect of reviewing books is that I don't really spend time in used book stores any more. I don't get to read nearly as much just for pleasure, for one thing. If I have time for pleasure-reading, I generally end up reading something that I didn't plan to buy, but that showed up in my mailbox anyway and that I was somewhat curious about. And the rest of my reading time is spent on review books, which I have to get as soon as they get out, so I either get review copies or reimbursed copies of the hardbacks.
I never used to buy hardbacks, because I don't much like them. They don't travel well, they're unwieldy compared to paperbacks, and they take up too much shelf space. I like the more compact package. Now almost all the new books I get are hardbacks. :^P
I sorta miss that sense of having a dozen things I was looking for in used bookstores, and having the pleasure of the hunt.

Date: 2002-10-01 09:09 am (UTC)That said, I need the wish list, if only to be able to track what's coming out when, and make sure I get the books I need (as opposed to the ones I merely buy on impulse).
