Buying books in Sioux Falls
Sioux Falls is by far the largest city in its state, built around a waterfall in a park at its centre, with a substantial financial services sector attracted by state banking law and a large food processing industry. Winters are severe.
Books are cheap individually and heavy in quantity, so postage often costs more than the book. That makes the local market the only one that really works for anything beyond a single paperback, and it is why collections tend to move as a lot.
What to check in person
Fan the pages under a light and watch for foxing, the brown speckling that comes from damp storage and never lifts. Check the spine has not been rolled or cracked, and on a set make sure the volumes actually match rather than merely resembling one another.
