In Response To: Re: You hit my solar plexus (Michael Ross)

my home is a flea market of books(smile)

Yes I go to flea markets, yard sales ..
anywhere I can find them ...

Now some stores will give you more if the
book is in excellent condition. (which is
why sometimes I go to the discount bookstores)

But the key is to ask the bookseller what
they are looking for and to browse their
book shelves to see what's moving.

Cookbook and self help books are always welcome.

If you love books it's fun to browse and read for free and resale them...
