Does anybody else regularly look through the book shelves at

The Goodwill in my city sells hardcovers for $1, paperbacks for 50 cents. I'll go in there once a month or so and walk out with a fat stack for under 10 bucks. There's a pretty decent turnover, so I'll dig through all their shelves once and the next time I'm there, it'll be almost like an entire new selection.

The only problem is there's next to no organization or promise of quality. You can find some greats in there, but you'll have to dig through hundreds of copies of Twilight to get to them.

Probably 80% of my library is from Thrift Stores. I often find LIKE NEW condition books of classics and rare editions.

I usually just quickly scan their shelves several times over for author names that I am familiar with and book titles I see on /lit/.

I just bought this stack today for under $10 at my local thrift shop

only thing i get at the thrift store are cocktail glasses because you can wash the stink out of them

Library. I appreciate sharing books, though some really dirty people out there touching them (but from all used books, to some degree).

I periodically go to library sales in different areas. Usually ten bucks or so lets you join the "friends of the library" and you can attend the presale where all the good shit gets ganked. Bring a bunch of bags/boxes and maybe 200 in cash and I come away with lots of good stuff for myself

Lol, no I seriously got those at my thrift store. It is run by a bunch of old ladies that price every book at either 50 cents or $1.00. The bottom three I got for $1.00 each.

I live in small town USA bro.

I recently found hardback pocket copies of both the complete works of Sophocles and the complete works of Aeschylus for €4 each

I live in a university town with several used bookstores, so the thrift store books are usually really crappy.
So not really. It's extremely unrewarding.

Nothing but textbooks from the 80s and Danielle Steele """novels""", but once I found a VHS tape of Heavy Metal in there with the books and they gave it to me for free.
