You don't have the patience to wait for the public library's copy of "The Lost Symbol"? The $30 novel is $14.38 at Sam's Club and $16.29 at Costco. If you're not a member, find a friend or family member who is. Regardless, you might want to call ahead to check stock to avoid disappointment. On Tuesday, supplies were still plentiful.
Another cheap alternative is to order it at Costco.com. Non-members pay only an extra 5 percent (81 cents). Shipping depends on your zip code but it's around $3 for members or non-members. SamsClub.com does not allow nonmembers to shop online.
Enjoy.
