Googled bookstores for Columbia, SC...

my town with a popn of about 100k has at least 4 dedicated bookshops that I can think of.
One chain, one independent, one used bookshop and one charity owned bookshop.

I bet there are a lot of second hand book shops that have a better selection that B&N could ever have.
Just gotta get over it that the pages might be yellow and corners bent.

I'm sure the bookstore, if they are like the ones in universities I have been to sell other books at greatly inflated prices.

The state consists of the descendants of slaves and hillbillies, with anybody with any intelligence moving some smart (i.e. anywhere else in the Great Republic except West Virginia, for example).

Some of those hillbillies and slaves became entrepreneurs though, there's plenty of successful cultured people inhabiting the south.

I hate how low quality the copies on amazon can be
When I first ordered the Night Land from there they sent me this horrible barely formatted copy with like 8x11 pages full of text and no paragraph breaks.
This seems to be the case for many uncommon books
