If you’re looking for an excuse for a road trip, consider driving up (or down, depending on where you start from) I35. Between Austin and Waco there are several nice bookstores to browse. Don’t forget to look for Half-Price Books; there’s one right off of I35 in Round Rock.
- Georgetown, Texas: Second-Hand Prose
- The Georgetown public library book nook is possibly the best library bookstore I’ve been to.
