I buy my gay fiction/other at an independant store called After Stonewall.. that store kicks, and I've known the owner for years....I get my regular books at Chapters, (aaah! A Big Box Chain!!!! NOOOO!!!) but mostly I shop at Book Market, a second hand bookstore...but that's been less and less lately as the staff there suck. :) I hate ordering books off line; I love to go into bookstores and wander around...sometimes I know what I'm buying before I go in (especially if I'm going with my partner Aaron, cus he hates bookstores) but other times I'll wander around aimlessly (like with my friend Dar). :) Wolf -- Editor Wolf's Picks: Opinions of an Avid Reader http://crowswolf.tripod.com/wolfspicks/ [email protected] wrote: > Just idle curiosity here, but where do most of you buy > books -- online, or in regular brick & mortar bookstores?
