Not only book stores, but used book stores ans garage sales. I have a box in the
back of my car I use to store garage sale purchases and thrift store purchases. The
Goosebumps, Mary-Kate & Ashley, Star Wars, etc the kids love but I don't want to
spend my book budget on get bought for no more than $.50 and brought into school.
Sometimes if I mention it's for a school library, the garage saler has just given
me the books.
I also use my Palm Pilot to store titles i see and want to purchase.
