Midway Books

I happened to notice this book store by chance one day on my way to work. It on a busy crossection of the town and not the easiest place to park. However I returned once during lunch break.They have a pretty ineteresting collection of books ranging from fiction, science, sociology, polictics you name it. They are decently categorized. I ended up buying and old edition of Tom Sawyer. Prices are decent too. You should definitely check this place out.

A very popular location, you can except a good flow of inventory from this store. Located centrally on University, it is a fun place to search through. Bookstores like this can be particularly dangerous, if you don't watch yourself you may end up leaving spending twice as much as you intended to. Average prices.

One of the best spots for used books that you're going to find in Saint Paul. Three stories and a real landmark in the city. Particularly good with art books, comic books, old playboy issues, etc. A little skimpy on poetry, folklore and mythology, as a note, however.
