Campus bookstores are where students go to buy text books for their classes. So even if they had a book I'd want to read, it would be grossly over-priced. They also sell apparel with the university name/logo on it. I bought a t-shirt that says "Gamecocks" and a hat that says "COCKS, The University of South Carolina".</p> <p>I inexplicably forgot to mention what I had for lunch that day: Confederate Fried Steak with grits and collard greens. I've never had grits or collard greens before, but when in Rome. Grits were like cream of wheat that I'd had as a kid. I believe they're made of corn, however. Collard greens are an unholy cross between cabbage and spinach.</p> No books. Campus bookstores are where students go to buy text books for their classes.
