There is something "comforting" about Barnes & Noble I must admit. I read a lot, and so maybe that is why I like the place. Anytime I dream up some new scheme or discover some new hobby- I will always go there to check out the book selection even though what I need is probably on Amazon instead.
Half Price Books is great too and one of the few local treasure troves left in the age of Amazon, eBay and Abebooks. Not sure if that is a national thing or just Texas- but they sell surplus new books at half price and they sell used books incredibly cheap.
Just yesterday I was in one here in Austin and I found a gigantic vintage 1960s book on Rembrandt with over 730 pictures of his work- 80 of them color plates.
$30!
