Depending on what op is looking for this is almost certainly it. Most books are $1, and plenty of good condition/quality books are for relatively cheap, then they do a half priced day and a bag day (just pay for a bag a fill it up) the last 2 days

This! We usually find some awesome art/coffee table books that retail for $50+ for less than $10.

Any chance you're looking for vast quantities of vintage science fiction/fantasy? If so, I've got you covered!
Boxes and boxes and boxes of 1960's-80's paperbacks and 1980-2010 hardcovers. Also other genres from the same time periods, but LOTS of science fiction.

What do you like to read?
I often visit the little free libraries around town - drop off a book you’ve read and then take one with you!

I’m super interested in the later releases of the sci-fi!

Not local but the thriftbooks website. I use it all the time to bet books anywhere between 20-90% off retail. Just make sure you pay attention to rated condition on whatever your order

Hooked on books and bookmarx are my favorites.
