Is it wrong of me that one of the reasons I wanted to come to Arizona was because of a certain chain of used bookstores? Let's just say there are 5 branches of said chain, I have already been in three of them (with a trip to the 4th planned for tomorrow), and my theory for the second and third of 'if I don't take a bag in, I'll buy less' really hasn't stood up too well to testing.

Hello, my name is graculus and I am a book addict. :)

However, if you're looking for the book addict 12-step program, this is the wrong place to start, since while I accept I have no control over my book-acquisition, I don't particularly think it's that big an issue in and of itself. After all, although my TBR pile occupies a bookcase on its own, I am actually capable of allowing books to leave my house, in the form of swaps or sales or even donations to charity shops! If I were that big an addict, surely you'd have to pull the books from my cold dead hands?

How can it be wrong when it feels so right? ;)

I love Bookmans! I've been to four of the five -- the Mesa location is my favorite.

If you're anywhere near Las Cruces, NM, during your trip, I also recommend COAS bookstore. Not as many books as Bookmans in Mesa, but still quite a lot crammed into a fairly large retail space.

Providing you've finished reading the book. ;-)

Most of my book club members plan sidetrips into vacations to go to used bookstores, taking along the "group list" we maintain at all times.

There's something wrong with that?

I love collecting books, and only get rid of them if it's in exchange for another, so you have a plus on me :)
