I always seem to find books for my projects in the most random places. Take Hawaii, for instance. Several years ago we were in Maui and accidentally came across this hole-in-the-wall bookstore in the middle of a huge sugar cane field. We had to take a dirt road to get to it and literally nothing else was around. There were TONS of old, used books just waiting to be taken. Most were free and others were like 50 cents or something. So I ended up loading up the trunk of our rental car with several of them. Of course, I had to limit myself as I needed to carry my selections on the plane. But it was a really amazing place.
