I absolutely enjoy finding a used bookstore while exploring a new town or city. I can't help but meander through the dusty, over stocked aisles overflowing with old and new books. The personality of the store is not just built from the owner but also the surrounding community and the books they read. Some stores have large science fiction sections; some have larger history sections; and some may even have an actual engineering or computer science section. During one of my meanderings, I found "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programming" (SICP) lying under computer reference books on the top shelf. I got the old rickety foot stool, pulled the book down and found it was in decent shape, so I had to buy it. And yes, I know I can read it for free online. If anyone is in the San Jose, CA area, check out the Recycle Bookstore. One of my favorites.
