For those of us who still love to get our reading time in the “old-fashioned’ way, that is, holding a book and turning actual (paper) pages as we weave through the story, there’s a store in South Carolina that won’t break your book-lovin’ bank.

Mr. K's in North Charleston (also in Greenville!) has more than 100,000 used books just waiting for a new set of hands (and eyes) to discover the goodness within each title.

It's here, inside this massive 10,000 square-foot store in a busy shopping center, that you'll find hours and hours of enjoyment searching for hidden treasures among the stacks.

And speaking of stacks... there are rows upon rows of bookshelves piled high with every nook and cranny filled to the brim with used books.

Where do they come from you ask? Mr. K's buys and trades books. So bring your old books and get trade credit for new ones! Tons of people do it!
