Question more Austin questions
I am bumping an existing thread, which is quite informative (& opinionated!).

We are doing a MR to Austin over Easter weekend, staying at the Sheraton.

Can anyone recommend a good used items/books/pawn shop in downtown Austin? I have been spoiled by Bookman's in TUS & am hoping for something similar!

Also, what are our transportation options from AUS? I have seen a recommendation for an airport shuttle. Is their a public transit option?

Thanks in advance!

There is fairly good public transit to/from the airport, which you can see at this site; the 100 (Airport Flyer) is the best route to the downtown area. As far as places to peruse, I recommend just walking around downtown (Congress) and up "the drag" (Guadalupe) -- there's a Half Price Books somewhere along there.

Most of my book purchases in Austin were made just a little further up the street at the UT Coop. Hook 'em! \m/
