[QUOTE="Jdvn1, post: 2918620, member: 26424"] The two places right by Rice are Nan's and Third Comics. Nan's is run by a really cool dude. Unfortunately, there's one or two employees that give the place a bad rap. Though, when there are three employees, that's kind of significant. It's a good place to go if you're looking for anything semi-common. They carry a variety of books and sell for cover price. They also have a lot of comic books (half the store I think), if that's your thing. No gaming space. This is the closest place to Rice and could be considered walking distance. Third Planet, from what I've seen, is run by nicer people on average. At least, I haven't had any bad customer service experiences with them. They do have a smaller variety of books, but more third party material, I think. Most of their store has a variety of other things from books, to shirts, to swords, to comic books and books. Very wide variety in not a much larger space than Nan's. Also no gaming space. If this is walking distance, it's pushing it. I wouldn't recommend walking there. Though, there's a Freebird's on the way if you want to have a meal on the way. The third place was a tiny hole-in-the-wall place run by super nice people and did have gaming space. It was called Dragon's Breath, and I miss it. :( I'm not sure if they actually closed down or just change business focus to an internet store. Either, it's not a place you can go in anymore. For a fun geeky experience, try going to the Hobbit Cafe. Great food, slightly pricey (though, maybe cheaper than most places in Canada from what I've seen), and filled with LotR memorabilia. I'm not a particularly big LotR fan, but it's kind of a fun place nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
