output: There was a time when I'd look down my nose at Bookmans, and I'll tell you why. I am a typical guy (read:slob) and yet I have some ridiculous idiosyncracies. Like books. I love new books. When I read them I barely open them so that the spine doesn't get all cracked. I don't write in the book. I actually use a bookmark. But since indigence has shunted me down a few rungs on the socioeconomic ladder to the caste of the untouchables, I find myself open to new things. By new things, I mean old things. Like ratty books. So my wife and I have a ridiculous amount of books at home, because I want you to come into my home and think I'm smart. Plus, we were both humanities majors, so we have a really strange assortment of books about totalitarianism, eastern european feminist writings, italian-immigration stories, you name it. So we brought in six grocery bags of books. Here's what we learned. -don't look for cash. they'll offer it to you but it's roughly 15% or less of what they'll offer in trade. -they pretty much don't take hardbacks. -they look for weird books, which surprised me. super-popular books are usually overstocked there. -they want plays -they want books they've never heard of -if you let one person look through your books, sometimes another buyer there will buy a few of the other buyer's rejects. -the books that are there for purchase have little prices written in pencil on the first page. And while the prospect of in-store credit may make you cringe, they have a ton of possibilities. dvds, cds, even records! and lots of books. old magazines. you can definitely spend money there. it is, admittedly, a bit ghetto. but we're in a recession, right? and on your dying bed, will you really care if the book you bought had already been read?

The service from Diane was awesome. Food is always good, as well as the atmosphere. Cannot beat the price for what you get. We'll definitely be back.
