My office for work is just around the corner from a brick-and-mortar Half-Price-Books, which I visit frequently. For the past three years it has been a goldmine for obtaining used volumes on biblical literature, theology, Christian living, etc. Why such luck? Because the city of Fort Wayne has a 1) Lutheran seminary -- Concordia Theological Seminary, 2) Catholic university -- University of Saint Francis, and 3) satellite campuses for two evangelical Christian universities (Taylor University and Indiana Wesleyan University). So, there are lots of volumes of a wide ecclesiastical spectrum to choose from, and the price can't be beat.
Case in point: this week I spent $9 on nine books, which were all from the clearance rack -- it included Hauerwas' A Community of Character, Schaeffer's The Great Evangelical Disaster, and Rahner's Foundations of Christian Faith. I believe the expression the kids are using these days (well, at least since the 90's chat forum days) is, "w00t, w00t!"
oh bro, you're going to have to pack all them books. but glad you keep finding more :) love you.
