Where do you find good used books around here?

Arlington has huge sales twice a year at Central library. They maintain small sales areas year round in each branch. |

Hopefully Second Story in Rockville is better than the one in Dupont. I used to love it, but some of their regular employees are intolerably rude…it’s just uncomfortable at times. I much prefer the used cart out front of Lost City in Adams Morgan; I always find one or two good books. |

Book Thing Baltimore! Worth the trip! It is a warehouse of books and you can take whatever you want, completely free, no limits*.
Capitol Hill Books has a VERY wide collection of categories and subcategories, especially in nonfiction. I prefer it to Second Story and the used bookstore in Adams Morgan. CHB always has something that I want. Second Story never does, Adams Morgan is hit or miss for me. IMO, they are all a little pricey for used, but I want them to stay open so I think of it like member dues. *Ok, their FAQ limits to 150,000 per day, lol https://bookthing.org/faq/ |
