I stopped by Second Editions bookstore yesterday at the recommendation of  of Elizabeth Alley, who had just scored a massive world atlas there for $6. And since I'm a big book nerd, that's all I needed to hear. Second Editions is located just inside the Benjamin L. Hooks main library. They sell books, magazines and records that have been taken out of library circulation. I was surprised by the selection at Second Editions - there are a lot of recent releases and  bestsellers on the stacks. They've got several shelves of hardcover and paperback fiction (with most titles priced around $3). There are also plenty of children's books, non-fiction books, coffee table books and reference books. Second Editions is run by the Friends of the Library and staffed by volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer, find out how. Go There:
