I go to a used book store (Half Price Books) occasionally. I rarely find books I want for the price though. Thrift shops almost never have anything I want. Highest on my wish list at the moment is "The Continent Of Lies" by James Morrow. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy it on Amazon. > xponent Dreambeans Maru rob
