I miss secondhand bookstores, or bookstores that had a secondhand section. Sure, there are secondhand bookstores, but those focus on the more special books or really old books. Not regular, more recent fiction.
We used to have a bookstore chain called De Slegte, which had new books (often bargain books) and a big selection of secondhand books, both antique book and regular fiction. I've found some great bargains there.
I see De Slegte is still operating, but with only three stores. So it looks like I need to plan a day out to one of those cities soon.
