The only thing better than a bookstore is a used bookstore where I can get my fix on the cheap.
Second story combs all the estate sales and whatnot and stocks up on books. They have some lovely leatherbound books, rarities, and first editions, but mostly it's just a great selection of random stuff.
I suspect they get many of their books in the DC area so you can expect a lot of history and politics. They have a great fiction section too, lots of classics.
It is especially nice now that they redid the place. It's lost the layer of dust. It feels way more spacious and organized. And if you can't make it to DC, you can visit them online. They sell through Amazon and ebay.
I have spent many hours in this place.
