The Austin (Used) Book Collective Valentine’s Market

Have you considered falling in love with a book? Pros: A book’s a cheap date – unless you’re into first editions – and they never Dutch oven you in bed. The con? Paper cuts. Entertain entering a literary affair this weekend with one of the many curated offerings from Austin’s used book sellers, who congregate at acai bowl/coffeehouse/wine bar Community Garden to hawk their print wares. Vendors like Time Being Books, Mac Benson, Rand Renfrow, Josiah Simon’s Rare German Books, and Sleeper Books offer a wide range of physical media from hardcover rarities to cool-covered paperbacks. Save yourself the human heartbreak and pick up your new book lover! – James Scott
