Hey all,

Well, I buy or get books in a variety of places. 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). :)

Just idle curiosity here, but where do most of you buy&nbsp; books -- online,
or in regular brick &amp; mortar bookstores? Big chains like Barnes &amp;

Do you browse or go in knowing exactly what you want before you buy it?
Like I said, just idle curiosity.</font></font>
