I want a book stroe too. Any idea where it might be going? Clevengers maybe?

Yes, Yonich has said it will be in the old Clevenger's building.

It is supposed to be Half Price Books.

I will settle for any bookstore at this point.

I love buying books on the 'net, but there is something to be said for just walking into a bookstore and browsing and smelling the wonderful fragrance of new books.

I love Half Price Books. I love buying anything locally, whenever possible. And I prefer browsing and smelling 'em in person, too.

I love bookstores too.

I especially love them when the books are free.

I'm with you. I get most of my books from the library.

I love the library. But some books you just gotta own, imho. I like to write notes in them. I'm not talking fiction.

I've found more than one library book with underlining and margin notes.

But I don't believe in defacing public property. And then I wouldn't have my notes handy.

Don't get me wrong, I own lots of books, but the number which I've read more than once is small.

The only exceptions are
The tightwad gazette
Your Money or your Life
Asimov's robot/foundation novels
several how-to books, especially ones about electrical wiring
... and cookbooks, of course

I really like the book section of the goodwill in Olympia.
