Book stores can be like radio stations -- all of them have the
same top-40 stuff and it's hard to find anything new and different.
Well, I spent a day last weekend bookstore crawling in Portland,
and, you know, in Portland there are a lot of really neat bookstores
full of really neat and knowlegable people.

At one bookstore, I got a copy of "Portland Area Used, Rare,
Out-of-Print Booksellers" which is a small pamphlet with no publisher,
copyright, or any byline on it.  So, to promote the little bookstores
in Portland and Vancouver, I give the list for you reference.
