    most large stores ( no matter what they carry ) will only carry what
    sells ... and/or what people tell them to carry at all stores
            - some grocery stores will carry spices that matches the general
            mix of their neighborhood

    for local bookstores here.. all the good ones the way of the dinosaur in
    germanium valley
            - digital guru is the only one left .. ( storewise )
            other than b/n

    there should be enuff demands for "good techie books" that are
    something between the LDP howto and the full blown novels(books)
    but also priced at say $5-$10ea w/ cdrom to cover costs only ...
            - anybody know a book printer looking to unload their machines

            - or just print the "hardcopy/paperback" manual and give it away
