I just walked a mile and a half to a used bookstore, got six paperbacks (for $13 total!) and then walked back. Unfortunately my college is at the top of a really, really steep hill. The driveway is over a third of a mile long, and steep.... someone gave me a lift when I was halfway up, though, so I'm not totally dead. Just tired and hot, and my feet hurt. But it was a nice day for it, and I got new books.
Believe it or not, some of the best prices I've paid have been from Amazon (for new books). Even including the shipping, a lot of times I get the book or music at least the same price as I could get it at a bookstore...usually cheaper! And I don't have to hassle with the drive. Most drivers, other than myself, are lunatics. Usually you can't avoid getting out and driving around, but when I can, I'd just as soon not get out amongst the loons.
