A good used bookstore is an intellectual's crackhouse
Second Story Books may have an ugly website, but they are rapidly becoming my go-to used bookseller. They're right around the corner from where I work here in Dupont Circle, and when the weather is good, they sell books for very cheap on the sidewalk.
Today's find: Fernand Braudel's The Structures of Everyday Life, the first volume of his three-volume work Civilization and Captialism 15th-18th Century....for the princely sum of TWO DOLLARS!
Say whatever you want, but for me, the Annales School makes for an interesting read, and I've always had a soft-spot for early-modern European history.
