I’m still pretty bummed about Bananas Records’ retail location scaling down its once-massive used book supply. Luckily, this hole-in-the-wall warehouse, tucked away into a crevice of Pinellas Park makes up for everything. Having opened last November, Book Rescuers houses what is described as “one mile of shelving” containing over 80,000 lightly used books—including a special section of those that have been banned at the front of the store—being sold from anywhere between $1 and a whopping *squints* $8. A selection of DVDs, CDs, and vinyl are also available for $1 apiece, kids can get a free book on Sundays, and teachers get 50% off of everything all day, every day.
