I do. Before the local stores were, for all intents and purposes, run out of business by the mall book stores and B&N, I used to go to them all the time. Locally owned used book stores as well. Probably three or four times a week when I was young in Ventura, California. I probably drove up to Bart's Books in Ojai an average of two times a week. Later I went to B. Dalton, Pickwick and others in the malls (and later still, B&N, Borders and Hastings -- which was also a video and music store, and Half Price Books, used (as well as 75% Off book stores for remainders). When I was in college I worked for a paperback book and magazine distributor. So I was around books a lot when I was younger.
