Need a recommendation for a good used bookshop, please,
along I-75 between Dayton, Ohio and Gainesville, Florida.

'Would appreciate any DUers' inside scoops on the best bookshop for selection & price.

Thanks in advance.

1. Actually, you can get some good deals at Amazon.com.

2. Sometimes we do Amazon or Abe or Alibris on-line but this time
we're trying to hunt down a really good used bookshop along I-75.

3. Try a search on Booksense.com
Booksense.com is the commercial portal for the Independent Booksellers Association.

Thank you.

5. Any of the cities on the route -- Dayton, Cincinnati, Lexington,
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Dalton, Atlanta, Macon, Valdosta, Lake City, Gainesville.

Or any other town you know a good one to be.

I'll take all suggestions.

Thanks.

6. This one is well-known (but it's in Oregon.)
www.powells.com

I did search for an out-of-print book there once, but they didn't have it.

7. It can even have cats or dogs or birds.
No walruses or mountain lions, please.
