I also enjoy my local used bookstore. The one here is called "Fireside Books." They have a bit of everything, fiction and non-fiction including some old paperbacks from the 50's. They're the only ones that cost more now than they did when they came out. They usually have a price of around 50 cents or so printed on the cover and go for several dollars due to the fact that they are so old.

It's a fun place because it's a library that isn't a library. You can trade in your old paperbacks for store credit in either "general" or "spec fic" and use them accordingly. Most books are around $2.25, and it seems to be a dollar-to-dollar trade. So, I traded in around 30 books, and I've got credit for another 30. I don't know if I can bring them back to her though because they stamp 'em all with the store logo.
