Bookstore tips for Kahului
A few things worth knowing before you work through Kahului's bookstores:
- Check for a café corner at Maui Friends of the Library Bookstore. A bookshop with coffee is a trap in the best way. Plan accordingly; you won't be leaving soon.
- Ask for the out-of-print hunters. Some used shops will hunt down out-of-print titles for you. It takes patience, but the find is worth it.
- Don't judge by the window display. The front table is marketing. The back shelves are the shop's real taste. Walk the whole floor.
- Buy the signed copy. Signed stock costs the same as unsigned and only goes up in charm. Ask at the till; shops often have signed copies behind the counter.
