I might also suggest The Book Mill in Montague, MA. The slogan for the bookstore makes me laugh every time: "Books you don't need in a place you can't find."Léahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547860631740373591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-86771416718887719082010-08-11T13:59:53.381-04:002010-08-11T13:59:53.381-04:00Patricia & M - Thanks for recommending your fa...Patricia & M - Thanks for recommending your favorites.

FIRE ALONG THE SKY was out of print when you discovered it in Maine, but now it's back in print, in a handsome new trade paper edition complete with the love letters of Lady Valerie d'Arcy (NOT in the 1st hardcover edition) from Excelsior/SUNY press.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-73853659647796099282010-08-05T09:29:25.033-04:002010-08-05T09:29:25.033-04:00Longfellow Books in Portland, Maine.

A lot of local history on these shelves, plus a basement with an in-house bindery. Five floors of books. <br /><br />Dark Star Books: excellent comic book store and used book house in Yellow Springs, Ohio (I'm going this weekend). Their selection of SciFi and other genre fiction is stupendous. They have a nice metaphysical sectio too: I found a signed copy of a Manly P. Hall book there and snagged it as well as the first edition of Radio Free Albemuth by Philip K. Dick.Justin Patrick Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13354354033674548466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-4413416553946946252010-08-05T00:13:09.409-04:002010-08-05T00:13:09.409-04:00Yes, I love Banyen & have spoken under its aeg...Yes, I love Banyen & have spoken under its aegis several times but it's north of the border & I'm confining my initial list to US stores.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-20424352956377439802010-08-05T00:05:43.665-04:002010-08-05T00:05:43.665-04:00May I add Banyen Books in Vancouver BC, more a met...May I add Banyen Books in Vancouver BC, more a metaphysical bookstore than second hand, but it has an atmosphere that is quite unique IMHO.Worldbridgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02411263354180821936noreply@blogger.com
