I can no longer find any where I live (Bolton, United Kingdom), and instead I have to rely on car-boot sales and charity shops. Even then, the books to be found are of a limited range. I can always find unsuccessful movie tie-ins such as The Black Hole or Meteor, and it's easy to see the reading habits of fellow citizens, but it's rare I stumble upon a gem. That said, it's not all there was a street market a few months ago, and I found a cardboard box stuffed with fantasy novels for 20 pence each, and I've managed to prop up my library with a few classics (such as Papillon, Don Quixote, The Castle and The Handmaid's Tale). Still, I miss seeing so many books in one place. I should go to the library more, just to soak in the atmosphere. The disappearance of second-hand bookshops is something that deeply troubles me.

It's one of the largest independent bookstores I've ever seen...pretty much takes up an entire city block. They also buy used books online (http://www.powells.com/sys/obb_main.cgi).
