This especially sucks because I would rather impale my eyes on nails than shop at B&N. Library time.

It does suck... we need a CraigsList for booksluts.

Luckily, there's an awesome used bookstore here in Chapel Hill-- went there yesterday and picked up a 1970's paperback of Borge's Dreamtigers, a copy of Jung's Man and His Symbols, and a brand-new copy of Capote's Answered Prayers.

The damage? $7.32, 20% of which is funneled into the local no-kill Cat Hospital & Sanctuary.

Craigslist for books. That's an awesome idea.

There's Bookins & BookMooch, both of which are decent though of course one should be prepared to wait awhile for things too far off the beaten path, or cookbooks.

Try Book Mooch. I had mixed success - sometimes I'd end up with someone's really janky 1960's softcover, but generally they were full sized. I stopped mooching just because I didn't have any more that I wanted to give away.
