Used book stores?

Anyone know of a decent used book stored in the Southern MD area? There used to be one on Solomon's Island called "lazy moon" or something to that nature... anyone know if it relocated?

There's a nice one in Old Leonardtown off the square, a couple doors down from Cafe des Artistes.

Also, check the thrift stores. Many of them have tons of books.

There's one in Prince Frederick next to K-Mart called Ellie's Paperback Shack. At least I think it's still there. They had a branch in Waldorf that may still be open, too. The branch they had in Lexington Park closed years ago.

In Leonardtown you can purchase used books at the public library, they have a table right as you enter the building. And the one off the square in Leonardtown is actually the old Duke's Bar which is connected to the Cafe de Artists.

CH library has only a couple of shelves. I think Leonardtown has more and LaPlata has a ton. So many, that they have a seperate room in the basement for them.

And if you are looking for

something specific, try: marketplacebookcloseouts.com
I ordered a book this morning for $3 (granted shipping cost $3.49), that was less than half price for the book.
