Review
"Book collectors who travel will want to keep one of these (the Used Book Lover's Guides) in the car for handy reference. I rarely hunt for new books on trips, but used bookstores are very different from each other, and treasures may be found anywhere. Prior to getting this guide, my usual tool was the phone book: but that still leaves the job of finding the actual stores, hoping they'll be open, and discovering for oneself which stores are the jewels and which the clunkers. The Siegels have done all that--well, a lot of it--for you." -- Mythprint, 2/98

"Have you ever gone on a vacation and thought about visiting the local book store of the area you are exploring, but don't feel like hunting down a local Yellow Pages to locate the book stores? It can be really frustrating when you visit a really large city and have to locate sometimes more than ten or twenty bookstores. Well David S. and Susan Siegel have come up with a wonderful solution to travelling book hounds everywhere in the USA. The name of the guide is The Used Book Lover's Guide and there are six different guides that the editors have put together based on six different geographical regions of the U.S." -- Bookphilia Newsletter 1/99

Badly in need of an updated edition.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Used Book Lover's Guide to the South Atlantic States: Maryland, Washington, Dc, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida (Used Book Lover's Guide Series) (Paperback)
It could have been a great guide. However, the most obvious problem with this books was that it was printed seven or eight years ago. I was using this guide to locate used bookstores in the Washington DC area and only about half of the bookstores listed still exist today. Especially in today's era when so many stores have gone online, an update would have been welcome. Still with stores that currently exist, it is a useful guide for determining what kind of books a certain store sells, pricing, and recomendations.
