B&N, seeing as how I get the employee discount (I work for Gamestop which is owned by B&N). Discount is 30% except on magazines BTW.

1st choice B&M is Borders. Second is Barnes and Noble.
I prefer to wander a bookstore.

If it is something specific, I am an amazon.com junkie.

The only bookstore near me is Waldenbooks. There used to be a great used bookstore called "Booksellers," great name for a bookstore .

Anyway, I used to take hours purusing the used book section. My wife hated it when I went there. Nice revenge for me waiting in clothes shops.

Of course, now it's gone. Well, not exactly. They moved to a smaller place, and the used books are in a small section of the store. They still call themselves "Booksellers," but, they are basically a video rental place now

So, most of my book shopping is done online. Amazon is the main site I look at, but Shocklines.com is where I go to get my horror titles. That site rocks for horror fans.

Sometimes I go out to Westlake and visit Borders. But, it's few and far between.

Oh, and I do buy books at Super K, and, Walmart. It's a lot cheaper than Waldenbooks.

Again and again and again I will pimp out the Wheaton Public Library in Wheaton, MD. Awesome used book store in the basement. Great prices and a pretty damn decent selection (although the horror selection is a little lacking).

I also use http://www.booksalefinder.com for other used book sales that take place throughout the year. It's organized by state.

Another to Shocklines.com. Although I have yet to order from them, they do have some pretty cool stuff on their site.
