But if there's anything I've learned so far about Vegas is that any old skeevy strip mall can contain sweet gems. \n\nAnd so is the case for Dead Poet Books. I convinced him to check it out with me one day while we were on our way to Borders. And the second I stepped in, I knew I was in love. \n\nAs with many used bookstores, the selection of fiction was only ok, but that's my only beef with the place. They have a great selection of non-fiction, including a lot of random old books. I found a beautiful hardcover version of a Teddy Roosevelt book for my dad, and plenty of really cheap paperbacks. It was the kind of place that after 20 minutes, you have an armful of books to sift through, and you didn't even walk in looking for a specific book. They also have plenty of comfy chairs and couches, which for me, is KEY to a good used bookstore. And the people running the place really were quite friendly and chatty."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2"^^ . .
