[Ansteorra] Austin Area Question - Bookstores

[Stefan li Rous]

Thanks for the info on the Lamar store. That is a large place, so  
there should be a great selection. I remember when the Guadalupe Half- 
Price Books was even closer to the UT campus. That last location on  
Guadalupe was further from the University than they were back in the  
70s/80s.

There is also a Half-Price books on the northeast corner of Parmer Ln.  
and Mopac. It's in the same shopping center as Fry's Electronics and  
Harbor Freight, which are also stores of interest to many in the SCA.
