A bit of both. It's about 2/3 new books, at 20% off cover price. The other 1/3 is the remainders room, where you can get some really great deals. I got *Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell*, in...
<grin>I'm lucky: there's a warehouse bookstore near me. So I can browse and get Amazon-esque prices in the same place.</grin>

I already have libdvdcss2 and libdvdread.
