gridlore: A pile of a dozen hardback books (Books)
Make me happy.

Back when were decluttering the old place, we took a metric ton of books down to BookBuyers in Mountain View and traded them in for credit.. and promptly forgot about it.

The other night, as I was fighting between reading quickly because the book was close to its due date and wanting to linger over an awesome history of Venice, I remembered that credit. Confirmed with [personal profile] kshandra where it was, and called them.

We have a lot of credit there.

So today I wandered over. Castro Street in Mountain View is one of those great suburban core shopping streets, a sort of British High Street with shops, restaurants, and nightspots. Really beautiful. Also, they planned for plenty of off-street parking. Not that I didn't see some parking jobs on the street that reminded me of a Great Dane trying to fit in a cat bed.

But anyway, I browsed around, mostly in the history section, and in their extensive science fiction section (which is huge) and found some really great books.


After checking out, I was walking towards the door. Immediately after commenting about there was just too much neat stuff there, I practically leapt for another book

A good day.
