>tfw you don't have a good used book shop near youNot living in the Northeast feels
>>25123927Idk man. All the "independent" book stores up here are all full of the same b&n slop. Goodwill and library sales in college towns are the only real non-online options anymore.
>>25123927Midwest has a lot of great used book stores.
I'm in New Hampshire and this is what every local bookstore looks like
I just go to thrift stores for books because there are no good used bookstores near me
>>25123940>poot pound
>>25123927>buy copy of Moby Dick from local used book store>thought it was going to be boring slog but actually hooked by the prose>halfway through a clump of pages are stuck together>sniff the pages>smells like cumI only order books online now
>>25123940Ayyyy me too. There's a spot in wolfboro by the local playhouse that's really good. Otherwise yeah all the big name independent bookstores are slop. I just have to find a way to steal that guy's life.
>>25123940Girls play episodes a lotTheir books have episodes covers
>>25123940hell yeah, born and raised in manch. glad I finally got out though. I don't remember ever going to a bookstore there besides barnes & noble
>>25123936Iowa has a lot. I figured it was like this everywhere.
>>25123936not in Ohio
>>25123927I went to the only local used bookstore near me and it was the first time I ever saw a tranny in real life, at the register.
>>25123976Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin seem the best in my travels, but the midwest is fairly constant in my experience and I always get a haul. Picrel is a favorite stop when ever I am in Duluth, basement is packed even tighter. >>25124009Been a decade since I have spent anytime there, but it always seemed a wasteland as far as culture goes, still came away with some good books.
>>25123927My local is Pegasus Books in Wellington, NZ :)
>>25123944Based and pretty much the same here. Value Village is indispensable.
>>25123927you think that's bad? I live in Germany. They don't have any decent second-hand stores, period. I've lived here for more than 15 years, and I've found like, four. I just want one trashy pawn shop. Is that too much to ask for?
>>25124047>>25124259UNF
>>25123927I have several favorites, but I grew very fond of Kono Books in Komaba.
>>25124353This. Also OP at least has ebay. Meanwhile when I try to order on ebay I get slapped with 35€ delivery for a used book that costs 10€
>>25124387You're telling me.>ebay de: 0 results>ebay us: 500 results, shipping 56€it's enough to make me want to choke.
>>25124353Heidelberg has several excellent used bookshops. I've only been to Germany once and found them with ease so you should try a little harder.>>25124384This anon knows what's upThe rest may not believe it but Tokyo has fantastic English bookstores. Jimbocho alone has 3 that I hit up everytime I go and about a dozen more I check once a year. Kono-appreciating anon, have you been to Taizando in Hongo-sanchome? I stumbled across it when visiting Todai and it is the best philosophy/religion bookshop I've ever entered.
>bookstoresI have myriads of books, each for free, on this little girl. Why would I pay for a book?
>>25124416I haven't been to Taizando in years because they mostly focus on things out of my field of interest, and it's a bit out of the way.I live along the Den-en-toshi line, so I get off the train in Ikejiri Ohashi, walk to Kono, then walk to Shibuya to catch the Hanzomon line, and get off again in Jimbocho.
>>25124421Just use your phone, Kindlecuck.
>>25124438gross
>>25124448Ereaders are a scam.
>>25124451wrong
>>25124428That's convenient, Kono is out of the way for me so only go a couple times a year.I lived in Okachimachi for a decade, easy bike ride to Jimbocho.
>>25123927Sucks to suck, fucks to fuck
>>25124009You must not get out a lot.>>25124047Some of punk rock's origins are here
>>25123927>be from Buenos Aires>have 2 or 3 used-bookstores near every train station>have an entire avenue almost dedicated to used-bookstoresIt feels good bros...
>>25124451(you) never had an ereader
>>25124771I visited Buenos Aires back in 2022. I bought a shitload of bought, but I left most of them behind in my parents' house.
>>25123935They take what they can get. I live in an old university town and my used book store is full of encyclopedias, classics and memoirs going back hundreds of years. Do you live in an urban or suburban area?
Internet killed book stores. I've made my peace with it.
>>25123940OP is talking about used book stores, lrn2read
>>25123927I think our local book sellers are some kind of tax fraud because they sell new books for under 5, and their secondhand place is able to compete next door to another of their branches
>>25124421Soulless
