Lee | 55 comments If you want to share what you found at the UBS (used book store) or a libraries used section. I don't think they need to be just A/A, if you want to tell us what you found.

Today I went to a huge library sale after work. ( I work near the foothills, SW of the Denver metro area. I live SE of the metro area in a town of 1200, in city limits. So, our little library doesn't have a big used section! :) So, if I hear of one closer to the "big city".....

A few I found,

The Last Oracle (A Sigma Force Novel) by James Rollins

Death's Head Maximum Offense (Death's Head, Book 2) by David Gunn , I have the first one in the series, haven't read it yet.

And two HB's...


Nightshade 20th Century Ghost Stories by Robert Phillips

65 Great Spine Chillers by Mary Danby

I get regular emails from Amazon advertising 99 cent books and 2.99 and such. Some are pretty good.

Got Time To Hunt from my favorite used book store, Book Attic (it was one of the first places I found when I moved to Nashville 25+ years ago). I also got a shipment from Abe books (3 separate used book stores) Black Light, Night Of Thunder, I, Sniper and The 47th Samurai.

Lee | 55 comments I stopped at the library on the way home, to check out Think of a Number (Dave Gurney, #1) by John Verdon ,want to read it before his second one, that I won on First Reads. Stop in the used book room, there's a PB copy. Had a book checked out for 20 minutes!

Also, Evan Hunter, "Last Summer" this is his real name, he's better known as Ed McBain. This is the copy I found, http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/evan...

I just read his first novel "The Breach"...found his second Ghost Country (Travis Chase, #2) by Patrick Lee

And a PB door stopper.. The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

Picked up Goldfinger today at Book Attic (lucky find) and also Sable (bought it strictly on the strength of cover blurbs...could be a mistake).

C.S. Splitter | 234 comments Sadly, all the used book stores around here have closed down. Not only do I miss sorting through their questionably alphabetically sorted shelves, I miss the smell when I walked in. No other place is the same.
