I'm always excited to find used bookstores still hanging in there throughout the US.<br /><br />I was in Vancouver a while ago but we never took the ferry to get to Victoria. I regret that now. Not sure if I'll ever back to B.C. I hear there are even more antiquarian bookstores of the type I like in both Victoria and Nanaimo.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-43553351453738782014-02-16T08:11:38.807-05:002014-02-16T08:11:38.807-05:00I couldn't agree more about stores like this. ...I couldn't agree more about stores like this.

I don't miss the hassle of getting there and having to pack up all the books to ship them home, but I sure miss the stores themselves.<br /><br />One alone was a three story building crammed to the ceiling in every room with books, including thousands (literally) of old green Penguins. I never failed to take 100 or more books out of there. And they were cheap and the guy would always give you a further discount!<br /><br /><br />Jeff M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
