Book shopping , where do you go to read?

Personally I like the feel of old books in my hand and the motions of reading traditional books in general, but getting occult books feels like you finding needles in a hay stack, my university library had a section of book on the sort but for one reason or another they wiped the shelves clean. Now I am without. A question for other folks here, do you bother with physical books? And if so were do you search for them.

I also love old books, but have not been able to find good occult books anywhere (physical shops, markets or libraries) so I was very pleased to find 2 online, although I would have preferred a physical store, preferably in Diagon Alley. At least not from the Jungle.

I almost never screw with bookstores that sell new books, except just to buy empty journals to write in. For books, its usually Bookmans and for RARE used books there is this place in the Pheonix, AZ area called Alcuin Books. I got an oxford print of Hobbes Leviathan over there from like 1920-ish. It was like 200 dollars, but i dont regret it.

Here we have awesome online marketplace to buy and sell secondhand books. That's how I got my IIH book, the smell of old paper is awesome. Sometimes I can get a really good deal.

When I find a book that I think I want to have in paper, it has to be good quality book that I want to read more than once, then I either get a paper copy.... doing my best to... or I do some work... then print, and bind...
