"As the economic downturn lingers, people are turning to used book stores -- sellers as well as buyers. At Logos Books & Records in downtown Santa Cruz, #music buyer Warner Williams has seen people bring in entire collections to sell. Bookshop Santa Cruz has seen a dramatic increase in people selling and a new preference for cash over store credit, according to owner Casey Coonerty Protti. In Aptos, Bookworks co-owner Traci Fishburn reports "dipping our toes" into the used book market, prompted by donations by longtime patrons after the shop downsized in fall 2007. "Inexpensive entertainment, yet high quality," summed up Debbie Shayne, manager at Logos, which employs 25 to 30 people and has an inventory of 150,000 to 200,000 used books spread over two floors." - San Jose Mercury News
