Mark Twain Library (behind Paradise Rec Center) happily takes all books you care to donate. This library has nothing but donated books and everyone who works there is a volunteer -- great place. There is a used book store in Colony Shopping Center (by Sakura's) that will buy used books or give you credit towards their books.

There is a bookstore in the Colony Center (and the name of it escapes me right now) that will take used books and give you credits on other books.

I know this is a few (?) years after the post but is the Mark Twain Library still there and, more to the point, did you find the Spider Robinson books? What a blast from the past. Used to have a dinosaur computer game of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon.

Yes to Mark Twain. I got a couple of the Spider Robinson books from the library (borrowed from other libraries) but I'm so cheap I can't bear spending $6-8/book for Kindle ebooks for an hour's read. So, still looking and wanting.
