1/4 Price Books

On a tip from Katya, I trekked into 1/4 Price Books earlier today. It was really cozy and easy to navigate. I found two treasures, Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury and Sanctuary by Edith Wharton. I've been needing to feed my head for a while with some new books. I tend to re-read a collection of about ten books instead of branching out. I guess I'm a creature of habit. Anyway, I mentioned to the 1/4 Books guys that someone had written about them on the web and they were very grateful. Used and independent bookstores are a very important part of our literary culture. Unfortunately, I'm sure I don't have to tell you, they are for the most part a dying breed. So, keep the love alive and go to 1/4 Price books today and find some hidden treasures, I did! Overheard while in the store from couple selling some books: "You guys value books more than Half Price Books; they must value them by the pound." 1/4 Price Books 3820 S Shepherd Dr Houston, TX 77098-4228 (713) 520-5009
