I [heart] Once and Again Books

http://onceagainbooks.com/

While waiting for Keith to get done with work, I stopped by this book store. The average price of the used books is $2.50-$3.50, and the new books are 25% their retail price (on average). The used books are in good condition - there may be someone's name written in it or the spine a little creased, but the pages are intact, no stains, etc. I browsed every section, and I settled on the "required reading" section. This, of course, is generally classics read in high school or college and then analyzed in upper-level English classes. So what did I buy?

6 books.....$19
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Paradise Lost by John Milton
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters

Obviously, I was going for well-read "classics." Once and Again books is located off Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, GA (heading towards Norcross from 400 - about 1/2 mile off 400 on the left).
