My mother gave me a couple boxes of paperbacks to take to Half Price Books. They gave me $10 for them, so I bought a couple books. One was Lovers & Murderers by Vladimir Paral. It happens to be the novel Professor Cravens was translating the summer we went to Prague. It even has a signature from him in the front cover, to someone named Sara. I wonder, I wonder. I also picked up Spring Snow by Mishima, The Blue Lantern by Victor Pelevin and Waiting: True Confessions of a Waitress by Debra Ginsberg.

I started to hate the selection at half price books lately, and then I got turned on to Abe
Books. It is an online collection of used books stores, and you can find almost anything in any condition. I found some great, mint condition books online that are hardbacks for under $10 each. You can also do specialty searches for signed, good or bad condition, etc.

check it out at www.abebooks.com it makes buying books an addiction again for me.

I think it sort of depends on the store location and the time of year. It's so random. I never really go there looking for a specific thing, so maybe I don't notice a lack. But I've used Abe in the past for specific hunting.

I guess AbeBooks is only new to me then. Ah well, it is still exciting to get a good copy of a nify book in the mail. It feels like X-Mass. I am such a geek. :)

But don't get me wrong, I still love to visit book stores too. It is exciting to find something you were not looking for.

Wow, I really am a geek :P
