I usually go to see what books are available at discount and if there's anything else I might want that you can't get off the shelf locally. Does it beat shopping on-line? Probably not unless you want to a tactile connection to the item before you buy. I'm going to go mostly to see if I can find any deals. I too am often disappointed, but I often go just to see what's there. That said there are usually a lot of drive dealers there and some good prices. Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com
