I would try the strip off of Burnet Rd. that houses Recycled Reads. That shop is super cheap and full of old library books from the Austin Public Library. There is also another thrift/antique shop at the end of that same shopping center that has a ton of kids books in the back. That’s where I found my poetry book. You’ll have to dig through a LOT of junk, but you might just find a treasure for cheap!

Do you know where I could get really pretty, old children’s books? I am creating a reading nook for the kids and want to frame some classics as wall art.

well from one “bargain-hunter” to another, I believe I bought the the poetry book for 50 cents, the beauty book for $3 (I debated a bit at that price, but decided that the drawings were worth it) and the Bollywood calendar book for $2. Not bad, eh?

The cheap-wa… I mean, bargain-hunter in me is curious: how much did you get the books for?
