do you feel weird buying books at used book stores?

emilybusiness:

i feel like all those books there are there for the same reason: they are crappy books that people disowned.

You are insane! People sell books because they’ve read them and don’t need them around anymore, they sell them becuase they have crappy taste or they need the the money.

Used book stores are full of wonderful stuff you can’t find elsewhere, of things that make you squee of joy and excitement in way that a regular book store won’t. They are treasure tombs for the soul and mind. Seriously. If you have the patience, you can find the most awesome stuff.
