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
