same time as this list.  There is a separate Cambridge/Boston and New
England list.

[Note 2: I collected these comments from a variety of people.  I personally
have no knowledge of many of these places and take no responsibility if you
buy a book you don't enjoy. :-)   Phone numbers and precise addresses can be
gotten by calling directory assistance for the appropriate city.  Call ahead
for precise hours, as even when I list them they are subject to change.]

[Note 3: If you can add information for any of these, in particular
addresses when they are missing, please send it to me.  *PLEASE SPECIFY CITY
AND STATE.*]

[Note 4: I am cross-posting this to rec.arts.sf.written, but the bookstores
listed include *all* types of bookstores, so please don't tell me that a
particular store has a limited SF section unless I have specifically claimed
otherwise.  All references to science fiction are abbreviated SF for ease in

	quality used books.
Book Barn of the Finger Lakes (25 Cortland Rd, just off NYS Rte 13 towards
	Dryden).  Used books, large selection
The Bookery I (inside DeWitt Mall).  Used and rare books. Well-established.

	many areas including art, fiction, philosophy, history, poetry.
	Holds readings and signings many Sunday afternoons.
Borealis Books (113 N. Aurora St.).  New books. Many subject areas,
	including fiction/literature, poetry, gender/gay studies, good new
	SF (they absorbed Quest's End, an SF bookstore, several years ago,
	but still maintain its serious approch to the subject), alternative
	periodicals.

Lauriat's (Pyramid Mall).

Latham area:

Earth and Sky (640 New Loudon/Route 9, Latham).  Pleasant blend of New Age
	and occult.

Poughkeepsie area:

Bookworm (Route 376 west from the Red Oaks Mill area).  A nice used
	bookstore.  "Of course, romance has the largest section, but the
	SF section is quite large too, 11 packed bookshelves worth."

Ang & Lil's (Stone Rd, Greece).  Used.

	bother.
Maplewood Books/Total Information (Driving Park at Dewey Ave, Rochester).
	This is an excellent technical bookstore.  While their primary
	market seems to be the large population of engineers in Rochester,
	they do carry other subjects.  Their selection of computer science
	titles (both textbooks and titles geared towards users) is
	unrivalled by any other bookstore I have seen other than a campus
	bookstore at a top-notch engineering school.  The only thing wrong
	is that they are only open until 6 PM on weekdays and currently
	have no weekend hours.
Media Play (Southtown Plaza, Henrietta).  Also has music and computer
	software.
Park Ave Book Store (370 Park Ave).  New books only.  Now has an espresso

	104, Williamson).  Used.
? (Schoen Place, Pittsford).  Formerly part of Rock Bridge books, which is
	still there, but no used.

Saratoga area:

Lyrical Ballad (Phila St in downtown Saratoga).  Amazing used store carved
	out of basements from several adjacent establishments.
Saratoga SF and Mystery (Broadway in downtown Saratoga).  New and used.  Run
	by Mary Southworth and Karl Olson, who frequently sell books at
	SF conventions.
Tales of Space and Crime (Wilton Mall).  Also run of Southworth and Olson.
	"Let me also state that Mary Southworth, the co-owner, is one of the
	most helpful store owner I've ever met. I have enjoyed *every* book
	she recommended to me."

Schenectady area:

Bibliomania (Jay Street, downtown Schenectady).  Used, but classy used
	books.
Book Nook (Upper Union St, Schenectady).  General and local new books.
Books and Pieces (downtown State St, Schenectady).  Randomly open, peculiar
	used book store.
Collin's (Jay Street, downtown Schenectady).  Used.
Cornerstone (Upper Union St, Schenectady).  Children's books and toys.

Triple City area (Binghampton, Endicott, and Johnson City):

Barnes & Noble (Vestal Parkway, Vestal).  Standard chain superstore.
Bookbridge (Vestal Parkway, Vestal).  Near Binghamton Univ., strip-mall
	independent store--small by superstore standards, but respectable.
Fat Cat Books (263 Main St, Johnson City, 607-797-9111).  Good selection of
	new and used SF and fantasy.  Also stocks games and comics.

Sparkhill area:

The Dragon & The Unicorn (720 Main, Box 49, Sparkill, 914-398-2125,
	dragon.unicorn@mne.net, http://INFOWEB.NET/books/).  Used and
	out-of-print, mostly paperbacks, both for collectors and for those
	wanting just a "reading copy."

Syracuse area:

Barnes & Noble (Erie Ave, Dewitt).  Superstore plus recordings and coffee.
The Book Warehouse (Bear Rd).  Used.
Borders (Carousel Center).  Superstore plus recordings and coffee.  (The
	C.C. is an upscale mall with a Waldenbooks as well, but why bother?)

Westchester County:

Riverrun Bookshop (7 Washington Ave, Hastings-on-Hudson, 914-478-4307).
Riverrun Rare Books (12 Washington Ave, Hastings-on-Hudson, 914-478-1339).
	"Two blocks south of Broadway (Route 9).  Used books only.  North 
	side of street has general stock of used reading copies, including 
	mysteries and SF.  On other side of street is Rare Book Room with 
	first editions and signed copies, including mysteries and science 
	fiction, literary criticism, English translations of fiction, books
	about books, art, art history, photography, architecture, etc.,
	plus one room of classical phonograph records.  Most but not all 
	sections well arranged.  Both stores are worth a visit.  Accessible
	by Metro North train from Manhattan and other points served by
	Hudson Line trains of Metro North.  Easy street parking for cars."
	Open Tue-Sun 11AM-5PM.

============================================================================
------------------------------

Subject: NJ

Book Pit (17 Wallace Street, Red Bank).  "They specialize in SF (mostly used
	paperbacks) and horror, but also carry other books including a lot
	of hard covers.  It's a small place, but I thought that they had a
	pretty good selection in the SF section (my main interest)."  Open
	10AM-8PM seven days a week.
Borders (515 State Hwy 73 South, Marlton, behind Zagara's, 609-985-5080).
	Typical Borders: great selection, espresso bar, readings & Irish
	folk music.
Comic Attitudes (84 Albany, New Brunswick, 908-249-5558).  "Has a SF
	paperback section.  It's all new books, none used. There's a lot of
	stuff that's out of print now, mostly single copies.  Although it
	wasn't well-maintained in 1995, it's now getting restocked.  Comic
	Attitudes is primarily a comic book store with a good selection of 
	alternative/independent comics."
Cranbury Book Worm (54 N Main, Cranbury, 609-655-1063).  "Just outside
	Princeton, there's a small town (whose name I've forgotten) that a
	friend once took me to visit.  On the main street through the town,
	there's a large three-storey, white-boarded house with a porch and
	garden, a little ramshackle but otherwise unexceptional.  But
	inside, the house has a completely different character--it's an
	Aladdin's library of books. From basement to attic, every inch of
	wall, every available table and much of the floor is covered with
	books.  It's impossible to describe the atmosphere of musty
	seediness, of volumes lying sadly neglected, tired and shelf-worn,
	in the gloomy basement under the creaky floor, of the stacks piled
	up the main staircase, of prize books locked in glass cabinets, and
	of rooms where the light seems to seep through the windows with the
	speed of slowly-turned pages.  It's like a kind of treasure house,
	full of common copper coins and fancy inflated banknotes.  I came
	out feeling a little book-happy, bibliothecally-overdosed."  [Si
	Courtenage (ucacsco@ucl.ac.uk)]  They recently closed the basement
	off--the uneven floors and low beams made it a real safety hazard, I
	guess.  Good SF section (paperbacks are fifty or sixty cents each!).
	There's been quite a bit of re-arrangement, and some of the "odd"
	divisions (Modern Library Classics, for example) seem to have been
	merged in with their larger categories (in this case, classics).
	Really cheap books are on the porches.  Mon-Fri 9AM-8PM,
	Sat 9AM-5PM, Sun 12N-5PM.
EarthSpirit (W Front near Broad, Red Bank).  Wiccan and New Age books and
	materials.  Also has a selection of gay/lesbian/bisexual books.
Happy Booker (Morris County Mall, Ridgedale Ave, Morristown, 201-539-4240).
	Not only is the selection excellent, the help is knowledgeable.
	"Browser's delight.  Good SF, *tons* of computer books (all the AT&T
	UNIX books, for example).  Every usable inch of space stuffed with
	books, and narrow, narrow aisles.  Good selection of various other
	kinds of books, too.  No mainstream periodicals, but lots of really
	wierd ones.

There are also several Barnes & Noble superstores and a Borders superstore
in East Brunswick (which currently seems to be in a bit of a slump--their
stock is shrinking rather than expanding).

============================================================================
------------------------------

Subject: Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton PA

Allentown:

Another Story (9th & Linden).  Used.  Especially good on history and art.
	Occasional serious bargains to be found (i.e., collectibles for
	cheap).  Most paperbacks $1, small but cherce fiction section.
	Staff knowledgeable and helpful, especially owner.
Barclay Booksellers (Tilghman Square Shopping Center).  An independent
	specializing in business and children's books.  Staff more
	knowledgeable about kids' than biz.  Will special order anything
	from anywhere, including overseas, but you must be patient and sit
	on their heads about it or they're likely to lose/forget your order.
Book Bargains (8th & Hamilton).  Used.  Lots of old magazines, too, and
	military.  Surly staff.
Brentano's (Lehigh Valley Mall).  Good on anthropology, not bad on class
	fiction.  One of the few chains to label good fiction as "fiction"
	and not "literature."  Manager an SF buff, other employees mostly
	competent.
Waldenbooks (Lehigh Valley Mall).  Your basic crowded warehouse.  Staff
	generally bewildered.  Not bad for remainders if you're stuck in the
	mall for a few hours.

Bethlehem:

The Moravian Bookshop (Main St).  Serious women's section.  Small but
	interesting kids' section.  Staff helpful, will special order.
	Half the store is devoted to PA Dutch knicknacks for tourists.
Lehigh University Bookstore (Maginnes Hall, Lehigh U).  Haphazard selection
	between semester starts but you just might find that book on Hegel
	you've been looking for for so long, or that funky edition of the I
	Ching.

Easton:

Quadrant Book Mart (20 N Third, 215-252-1188).  Used.  "A three-story
	building which is chock full of hardbound and paperbacks--apparently
	picked up from estate sales, etc.  The proprietor is usually
	conversing with someone about anything except books.  He is located
	in a little side room so that you could probably walk out with half
	his store for all he cares.  But he knows every book that he has.
	He doesn't put price tags on the books, and you're not going to
	happen on any autographed books or other great finds cheap.  If you
	are looking for some oddball out-of-print or a bagful of paperbacks
	to while away the winter--you'd do okay."  But another poster said,
	"Whenever I can't find a book, I find it here. My sister found a
	complete Burton's ARABIAN NIGHTS here for a pittance, and a complete
	Frazer's GOLDEN BOUGH for another pittance."

Whitehall:

Hackman's Bible Book Store, Inc. (1341 Mickley Road, Whitehall PA 18052,
	215-264-8600, 800-345-1341, FAX 215-264-1411).  "I could spend hours
	and hours looking through all of their books and things.  They are
	now computerized so that they can look things up faster and or also
	they can order it by using their computer database.  This store is a
	20,000 square foot facility!  Quite large for a Christian
	Bookstore."  They carry a wide assortment of related items (music,
	choir gowns, communion supplies, etc.) as well.  They ship
	worldwide.

============================================================================
------------------------------

Subject: Philadelphia PA

AIA Bookstore (17th and Sansom, 215-569-3188).  Run by the American
	Institute of Architects, this store has (not surprisingly) books on
	architecture, interior design, etc.
Bauman Rare Books (1215 Locust, 215-564-4274).  Antiquarian book store.
The Book Trader (501 South St, 215-925-0219).  The biggest used book store
	in Philadelphia.  Also used records/CDs store, along with an art
	gallery, all in one.  Extensive SF paperback section, along with
	other good sections.  They have cats all over the place--if you are
	allergic, watch out.  Open every day 10 AM to midnight.
Bookhaven (2202 Fairmount Ave, 215-235-3226).  "Specializing in literature
	and history."  Pleasant, small used book store.
Borders Book Shop (1727 Walnut, 215-568-7400).  There is also an espresso
	bar in the store.  One of the best in Philadelphia.  Readings are
	held at least once a week,  and the atmosphere is both hip (see and
	be seen) and serious (about reading).  It's three floors--they have
	120,000 titles including a large children's section, and children's
	programs 11:30 AM Saturdays.  They also don't mind if you sit and
	read in the store for hours.  They won't hassle you for help, but
	when you need it, it's there.  They also have lectures and readings.
	See the Detroit/Ann Arbor listing for a description of the test the
	staff has to pass.
Borders Books & Music (Bryn Mawr).  One of the chain, but also stocks
	75,000 CDs and tapes and 8000 videos (in addition to 125,000 books).
	Look for this as a new trend; I saw stores like this in New Mexico
	as well.  It's the "total entertainment" concept!  (They have
	another, non-music, branch in downtown Philadelpgia as well.)
Bradd Alan Bookstore (30th Street Station).  Normally commuter newsstand
	bookstores have shlock and more shlock, and lots of magazines.  So
	does this one, but Bradd Alan manages to have a good compact
	selection of other things.
Dolbey's (3724 Spruce).  Has medical books and is of intermediate size.
Factotum Books (1709 South ).  "Not very good, but 'worth a wander.'"
Friends of the Free Library Used Book Store (311 N 20th St, 215-567-0527).
	A huge collection of cheap used books, in interesting variety.
	They have warehouse sales a few times a year.  Discount to Friends
	of the Free Library of Philadelphia.
Garland of Letters (527 South, 215-923-5946).  New Age, yoga,
	spirituality--a large selection.  Also sells crystals and incense
	and so forth.
Giovanni's Room (345 S 12th at Pine, 215-923-2960).  Gay/lesbian/bisexual
	bookstore.  Started in 1973, it's one of the oldest in the country.
	3500 square feet, stocking 20,000 titles.  Has an exchange program
	with a lending library in Moscow (see 1 Mar 93 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY for
	details).
Hibberd's Books (1310 Walnut) Sells new, used, and rare books, with a large
	selection of art.  Interesting item in this store is the bag of
	books in front of the store marked "take a chance, change of your
	life" filled with used books that are unknown until it is opened.
House of Our Own (3920 Spruce, 215-222-1576).  Book store near the
	University of Pennsylvania's campus.  They have literature,
	non-fiction, etc.  It has stacks of books--a very cozy atmosphere.
	"Also, it is very heavy on radical politics, literary criticism,
	feminism, third world history.  Not for DWM fans.  Outside of
	explicit pro-communist bookstores, this is the only place I've seen
	pro-Pol Pot literature. (And unlike the others, they will also carry
	anti-Pol Pot literature.)"
How to Do It Bookstore (Sansom btwn 17th and 18th).  Specializes in how-to
	books on all subjects.  "Dangerous store for hobbyists of any kind
	to enter!"
Joseph Fox (1724 Sansom, 215-563-4184).  Small but choice selection of
	fiction and non-fiction.
Rittenhouse Bookstore (1706 Rittenhouse Sq, 215-545-6062).  "Best medical
	bookstore in Philadelphia."  They can often get books overnight.
Robin's Bookstore (108 S 13th, 215-735-9600).  Counter-culture bookstore
	from the 1960s.  Still carries hard-to-find "intellectual" titles.
	Large sections on minority studies and poetry.  Occasional readings
	and signings.
Thomas Jefferson University Bookstore (224 S 11th, 215-955-7922) has a small
	selection of medical books, plus lots of Jeff paraphernalia.
Tower Books (425 South, 215-925-9909).  Usual Tower chain bookstore, open
	until midnight 365 days a year.
U. S. Government Bookstore (Robert Morris Building, 100 North 17th Street,
	215-597-0677).  "Did you know that the U. S. Government Printing
	Office operates 24 bookstores across the country?  ...and that they
	have some of the most >ahem< unusual and interesting things you'll
	find anywhere?"
University of Pennsylvania Bookstore (3729 Locust, 215-898-7595).  Over
	60,000 titles.  Strong in linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and
	sociology.  "The Middle East section may be the only  place in town
	to by a book of Kurdish grammar."
Whodunit? (1931 Chestnut).  Major mystery store, mostly used, some new,
	excellent supply for Sherlockiana for those who care about such
	things (like me!).  Owner Art Bourgeau has also written several
	books.  Mon-Sat 10 AM-6:30 PM.
William H. Allen Bookseller (2031 Walnut, 215-563-3398).  The epitome of
	a used bookstore.  Books are bought and sold.  Thousands of books,
	not precisely musty, but the feeling is there.  The best place to
	find rare used books in good condition.  Large collection of books
	and ancient Greece and Rome, in English as well as original
	languages.

There are three Barnes & Noble stores in the suburbs: Broomall (1901 Sproul
	Rd, 215-353-3255), Jenkintown (835 Old York Rd, 215886-5366), and
	Bryn Mawr (720 Lancaster Ave, 215-520-0355).

Bucks County:

Barnes & Noble (Route 611 just north of Jenkintown, 215-886-5366).  Huge,
	coffeebar, reading tables--nice.

Village Green (just south of the main crossroads in Doylestown, Bucks County
	seat, 215-230-7610).  A decent bookstore, with a nice magazine
	section (including a good supply of literary/little mags), decent
	SF section, and around 60K books, supposedly (though one person says
	they don't seem to have 2/3s the number of books as Border's
	biggest, so perhaps they have inflated the number a bit).

Chester County:

The main one is Chester County Book Company (West Chester PA (~20 miles
or 50 minutes by bus west of Philadelphia).  They don't seem to turn
over their stock as much as most bookstores: there are more older books
than you usually find (at least in paperback).  They have about 50% more
books than their shelves will hold; there are many stacks of books not
on shelves.  CCBC is a pleasant medium-sized bookstore, always good for
something and will special order anything (so one poster says).  They
have two stores, one in either of the two WC shopping centers; the
larger one is the regular store, the smaller is filled with remainders
and WCU texts.  The main store is in its new location in the West Goshen
Shopping Center, on Paoli Pike/Gay Street, just west of the Paoli Pike
exit from 202.  They no longer stack as many things on the floor, and
their selection is much larger.  It also has a "New Orleans" style cafe.

While in the area, look for Baldwin's Book Barn, a converted barn.  It
is possibly the largest used bookstore in the Philadelphia area, and it
is glorious.  Exton (the next town over) has Chester Valley Old Books,
east of Exton on Route 30 between the 202/30 intersection and the 352/30
intersection.  Smaller than the Book Barn, but good.  Right next to the
Burger King next to campus is a little old ladies' little old books'
bookstore.  Not much of a selection, but I always buy a few from them
when I'm in the area.  The Downingtown Farmers' Market also has a few
used bookstores, along with stuff you just don't find in any other mall.

There is also yet another used book store in Paoli, the Book Exchange,
which is on Route 30 just west of the Paoli train station.  (This is
about 15 minutes east of Exton).  Rather ordinary paperbacks upstairs
but a lot of good books downstairs.  Also numerous cats.  They have "25
cent" paperbacks in boxes outside the front door, and they leave them
out overnight, so if you're desperate for something to read at 3 AM, you
can go get one and drop a quarter through the mail slot :-) They know
both their books and their customers very well.

And in Willow Grove is the Business and Computer Bookstore.  "When
you're in the Philadelphia area, you as might as well also check out
Borders, U Penn, and Drexel U bookstores for used science books.  If
'technical' includes architecture, there's furthermore a specialty
store for just that in Center City." And Gene's in the King of Prussia
Plaza, near the intersection of 202, 76 and 276.  Very good selection
of SF and computer books.

Encore Books and Music (717-761-BOOK).  (Their voicemail will give you
	directions.)  "Best store in Harrisburg area for reasonably
	wide-market stuff, though not as good as Border's (the nearest of
	which is in Lancaster).  They have an okay SF selection, large but
	not that deep.  Their computer section is slim--lots of
	<Fill-In-The-Blank> For Dummies, lots of Internet books, some
	technical books, lots of books on programming languages, but none of
	them professional-grade (e.g., they don't have K&R or Stroustrup).
	They do have most (all?) the O'Reilly X books, and many of the less
	esoteric of the rest of O'Reilly's line.  Children's section in the
	back, fairly good.  Their art section includes some good finds; it's
	the only mainstream place I've seen Aidan Meehan's books on Celtic
	calligraphy & illumination, which seem to be considered canonical
	among Celtic-inclined Scadians.  (Yes, they have Drogin's MEDIEVAL
	CALLIGRAPHY.)  They have sections for Gay Studies, Women's Studies,
	Religion (including a subsection for Judaica).  Their Mythology
	section is pretty good.  Their music room is the best selection
	I've seen in the area (though not the best prices), and they have a
	listening post (for preselected CDs, not for whatever you want) and
	computerized equivalent of BOOKS IN PRINT for music.  Their coffee
	shop is good, and they have frequent music/poetry readings/academic
	lectures.

Lancaster PA:

Borders (off Rt. 30, at the Franklin & Marshall exit, across from a huge
	mall, 717-293-8022).  "Typical Borders (translation: it's great),
	if smaller than, say, the ones in the DC area.  Coffee shop.

============================================================================

Subject: State College PA

The Alley Bookstore (Calder Way).  Used books, better selection than the
	Bookswap, but slower turnover and unreliable hours.
The Comic Swap (106 S Fraser).
Encore Books.  "Large and comfortable with chairs, sofas, and a cafe."
Penn State Bookstore.  "Just acquired by Barnes & Noble and terribly
	inadequate."
Seven Mountains Books (111 S Pugh).  This is the best used book store in
	town.  General stock, but emphasis on SF.  New location and new
	name (used to be "The Book Swap").
Svoboda's Books (227 W Beaver Ave, 814-237-6171, svobooks@aol.com).  This
	is the best general purpose bookstore in town.  It offers good
	selection, good atmosphere, and interesting (sometimes live)
	background music.  Currently has a catered sushi party once a
	month!  "Heavy emphasis on academic (philosophy, criticism, etc.)
	and technical (science and computers)." They do two back-to-back
	book review programs on WPSU (91.5FM): "Libri" (academic books,
	Thu 7:00 PM) and "ConTexts" (popular books, Thu 7:30 PM).  Ships
	worldwide.  Mon-Wed 9AM-7PM, Thu-Fri 9AM-9PM, Sat 10AM-6PM,
	Sun 11AM-5PM.

Subject: Pittsburgh PA

Barnes and Noble (Murray Ave, Squirrel Hill).
Barnes and Noble (Smithfield Street in the old Gimbels building).  The
	store has a espresso bar and a Software Etc. in it.
The Bookworm (see Heads Together/Bookworm).
Borders (5 miles south on US 19, 412-835-5583, borders@telerama.lm.com).
	"A very good book store, and compares well with any bookstore short
	of Powell's (in Portland OR) that I've visited."  It has many club
	meetings, and will be starting an SF club in the near future.  It's
	a ways out from Pittsburgh for someone without a car." (A 5-minute
	walk after a 20-25-minute trolley ride.)  Now has an espresso bar.
	See the Detroit/Ann Arbor listing for a description of the test the
	staff has to pass.
Borders Books and Music (Northway Mall, McKnight Rd, 412-635-2665).  Super
	bookstore with CD section and expresso bar.
Bradlees Book Centre (downtown on Fifth Avenue).  Pretty good.  Small
	by Borders standards, but bigger than your typical mall bookstore.
City Books (1111 E Carson, 412-481-7555; on the South Side of the Monogahela
	river across from downtown).  Used.
Eide's Entertainment (1111 Penn Avenue, 412-261-0900).  A pretty good SF
	section, but smaller than a couple of years ago.  They're phasing
	out their new books, but seem to be keeping their used ones.
Heads Together/The Bookworm (1914 Murray Avenue, Squirrel Hill,
	412-521-3700).  Combination video and used book store.
Jay's Bookstall (Fifth Avenue, Oakland).  Probably, overall, the best
	bookstore in Pittsburgh after Borders.
Outdoor Experience (Walnut, Shadyside).  The basement of this yuppie camping
	store has a fine travel book section.
Pinocchio Bookstore for Children (826 S Aiken Avenue, 412-621-1323; in
	Shadyside opposite the west end of Walnut St).  The selection here
	is far better than any in any general bookstore.  (It's well-chosen
	stuff for the most part, not shelf after shelf of Sweet Valley
	High).
Pinsker's Bookstore (2028 Murray Avenue, 800-JUDAISM [800-583-2476],
	800-776-9545 [in Canada], or 412-421-3033, FAX 412-421-6103,
	info@judaism.com).  Gopher site at judaism.com.  Will ship worldwide
	from its very extensive stock of Judaic books.  Closed Saturday and
	Sunday.
Riverrun Books (1113 E Carson, 412-481-9060; next door to City Books).
	Smaller than City Books but the two put together are well worth a
	visit.
Schoyers (Squirrell Hill).   Large used book store.  They will do searches
	for obscure used books.
U. S. Government Bookstore (Room 118, Federal Building, 1000 Liberty Avenue,
	412-644-2721).  "Did you know that the U. S. Government Printing
	Office operates 24 bookstores across the country?  ...and that they
	have some of the most >ahem< unusual and interesting things you'll
	find anywhere?"
University of Pittsburgh Bookstore.  Pretty good.

There are several more (St. Elmo's and Stonewall probably merit additions
as well).  The CMU-SCS-student's Guide to Living In Pittsburgh gives a long
descriptions of the various kinds of bookstores in the area, but it's
probably more information than you want.  (It would take up a whole posting
by itself, and the bookstore pickings in Pittsburgh are a good deal slimmer
than NYC or the Bay Area.)

One area possibly worth mentioning is Craig Street in Oakland between Forbes
and Fifth.  While no one store stands out, there are three used bookstores
(Caliban's, Bryn Mawr, and Townsend) either on or just off this two-block
stretch; plus a comic shop (Phantom of the Attic) and a used-CD store (CD
Trader).  So it can be a pleasant place for a book-browser to spend an
afternoon.

Other "super-stores" are due to open in the Pittsburgh area soon; for
instance, Barnes and Noble is putting one up near the Waterworks mall.

	High-quality used bookstore.  Open Mon-Sat 10:30AM-6PM.
Tales of the White Hart (3360 Greenmount, 410-889-0099).  A store with
	decidedly mixed reviews.  On the one hand, one poster says, "A wide
	selection of new and used SF and fantasy, but filthy and full of
	nasty ill-bred brats."  Another adds, "The upstairs section is
	completely inexcusable.  I can tolerate a little disorder, but I
	resent the arrogance of a business establishment that makes no
	attempt to be attractive to customers."  But a third responds, "It's
	no worse than some other Baltimore used book stores.  She's trying
	to maintain a large selection on a shoestring budget.  I've always
	felt welcome at the White Hart, and she is kind and considerate.
	The woman has an encyclopedic memory for her extensive inventory.
	She also stocks an unusual collection of audio tapes and is quite
	willing to let you listen to anything she has in stock.  This
	courtesy is almost unheard of in record and tape stores anymore.
	For some of the more uncommon tapes, such as filk, she is literally
	the only source in town.  The only nasty ill-bred brats I've ever
	encountered there were customers."  [I'll second the comments on
	filk.  She has an amazing selection of tapes--and books--at Boskone
	every year, and I definitely try to buy from her there.]  Open
	Mon-Sat 12N-9PM.

Trans-Allegheny Books (118 Capitol, 304-345-0911; also 725 Green,
	Parkersburg, 304-422-4499).  "A used bookstore that is especially
	good that I've found here in West Virginia."  General stock of used
	books (half a million).  Largest selection of Appalachian regional
	books in "one" place.  New stock, special order, book search
	service, mail order.  "I've been told that there are several such
	stores in Morgantown near WVU, but I haven't been there."  The
	Parkersburg store is housed in a Carnegie Library and is
	on the national registry.  Mon-Sat 10AM-6PM.

Forrest Richey (far@medinah.atc.ucarb.com) adds:
"I can only speak for the two stores in Charleston and Parkersburg but they
are fascinating.  The owner is reputed to be a retired defense industry
exec or somesuch and has lavished much on restoring the buildings housing
these stores.  The Charleston store is in the old S. Spencer Moore building
completely renovated to look like an old office supply store's walls,
ceiling and floor with books shelved everywhere catagorized almost all
used.  Specialize in regional history and civil war history.  Large
selection of paperback and hardbound books."

"This goes for the renovated (said to be $1M worth) library in Parkersburg
too ... similar selection and you get to wander up wrought-iron spiral
staircases and over glass block floors from 'poetry' to 'mysticism' ...
definitely worth a stop if you're going through."

	interesting bookstore in the downtown area.  The most exciting part
	was finding the entrance which is through the Hardware Store (which

Charlottesville is the home of the University of Virginia and Ashlawn
(James Madison's home) and Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's home).
Continue on Route 29 from Culpeper (q.v.).  Make a left at Route 250
Business (not 250 bypass)/University Avenue.  You will pass the very
attractive University of Virginia, designed by Thomas Jefferson.
Elliewood Avenue is the small, partially concealed street on the left
where the stores start.  There is public parking opposite the
bookstore.  Continue on University Avenue to the downtown area for the
other stores.  For parking, following signs to Public Parking and South
Street.  Main Street is a pedestrian-only street in this area.  A
leaflet "Antiquarian Bookhunting in Charlottesville" is available at
many of these stores.  All stores seem to have a good stock of
materials relating to Virginia and Thomas Jefferson.  Every year
Charlottesville hosts the Virginia Festival of the Book which features
many excellent events of a literary nature as well as various book
sales.  Next one is April 10-13, 1997.  Call 804-924-1379 for further

	Good general collection, especially literary firsts.  Sun-Thu
	11AM-6:30PM, Fri-Sat 11AM-9PM.

Many of the stores along Caroline Street sell new and used civil war
books.  The prices for used civil war books (and for antiques) range
from high to outrageous.  The Fredericksburg Battlefield Site Visitor
Center Bookstore (about two miles out on Business Route 1) has a good
stock of new civil war books.  The Chancellorsville Battlefield Site
Visitor Center (about 12 miles west on Route 3) also has some new civil
war books.

Harrisonburg VA:

"There is a book fair held at the Green Valley Auction Barn; it is not
strictly a bookstore as such, more like a giant remainder sale.  This
has been going on for over a decade and should not be confused with
those gypsy stores that set up in unused stores.  They have a lot of
new books at low prices.  It is nice to see all the people that will
drive a couple of hundred miles to buy books."

Leesburg VA:

About 35-40 miles West of Washington, DC.  Follow Route 7 from Tyson's
Corner.  Pretty little town with lots of Civil War connections--Mosby
hung out here and Ball's Bluff battlefield is in the Leesburg suburbs.
Store opening hours (bookstores and antique stores) are, frankly,
casual so call ahead if you are making a special journey.

Clio's History Bookshop (P.O. Box 168, 103 Loudon St SW, Leesburg VA
	22075, 703-777-1815).  He is usually but not always open at the
	weekend.  Opposite the Museum and an ugly but convenient parking
	garage (free at weekends, 3 hours free during the week.)  Owner 
	Jason Duberman is a history buff and has assembled a fine stock
	of history books.  He says 70% of his sales are Civil War and
	WWII but he has stock in many other fields.  His favorite area is
	slavery and the antebellum South, where he has many good books
	but you will also find books covering most periods and most areas
	of the world.  Books are a mix of new and used.
Thyme Books and Cards (1 Loudon St SW, Leesburg VA 22075, 703-777-5277).
	Two blocks west of the Visitor Center, one block east of Clio.
	Mix of new and used books of not particularly high quality or 
	prices.  Fair amount of local interest, Civil War, SF paperbacks.
	Hours as for Clio.

Strasburg VA:

Backstreet Books (106 N Holiday).  "Three medium-sized rooms with new and
	used books, all very carefully selected and in excellent condition.
	There is a pretty decent regional history section and many
	interesting antiquarian books in the back room.  There is also a
	nice children's section and fairly comprehensive modern fiction and
	non-fiction sections.  The town iteslf is very small, having two
	stop lights, so it very easy to find the shop.  Also, one many want
	to check out the town itself, as there are many interesting antique
	and artisan shops that alone make the trip worth while."

Tidewater, VA (also Norfolk/Virginia Beach/Chesapeake):

Barnes & Noble (Virginia Beach Blvd in Pembroke Area, Virginia Beach,
	804-671-2331).  Typical superstore, only bookstore in area with
	out-of-town papers.  Best computer selection in Tidewater, including
	professional grade books, and good selection of technical Internet

Subject: Raleigh/Durham NC

The Avid Reader (462 W Franklin, Chapel Hill, 919-933-9585).  Medium-sized
	used bookstore.  General stock, mostly "old and rare" stuff like
	Wentworth and Leggett, but some used mass-market paperbacks as well.
	Open seven days 10AM-10PM.
Book Exchange, 107 W Chapel Hill, Durham, 919-682-4662).  Huge used
	bookstore.  General stock.  Also lots of textbooks, especially
	medical and legal (which would make sense as it is near Duke U.).
	Has the severe drawback that they shelve most books by publisher.
	Browsing there is, well, a very different experience.  Mon-Sat
	8:45AM-6PM.
Books Do Furnish a Room (1809 W Markham Ave, Durham, 919-286-1076).  Used
	paperbacks, comics, and CDs.  Small but not a bad selection.  (They
	are set back from the street fifty yards or so, so it's easy to
	drive right past them and not spot the building.)
The Bookshop (400 W Franklin, Chapel Hill, 919-942-5178).  Large used
	bookstore.  They get my vote for best used bookstore in the triangle
	area.  General stock.  Good selections of SF and Mystery paperbacks.
	I have also bought a lot of 20th Century first editions there.
	Mon-Fri 11AM-9PM, Sat 11AM-6PM, Sun 1PM-5PM.
Bookstar (301 Crossroads Blvd, Cary, 919-859-9933).  Lots of books, but
	impersonal (it's a "superstore," after all).
Foundation's Edge (2526 Hillsborough, 919-832-0044).  New and old comics.
	There's a closet-like room for roleplaying games, and the rest is
	about five shelves of paperback SF.
Lucy's Book Exchange (6701-103 Capital Blvd, Raleigh 27604).  "The store
	features a wide selection of SF and fantasy.  There is also a lot of
	romance, which seems to be in just about every used bookstore I've
	ever seen.  The collection of general fiction, men's adventure,
	etc., is pretty good, but the SF/fantasy is their largest.  It is
	also the largest selection of used SF/fantasy I've seen without
	going all the way over the Chapel Hill."
Quail Ridge Books (3522 Wade Ave, 919-828-1588).  Independent bookstore
	known for their knowledgeable staff.
Reader's Corner (3201 Hillsborough, 919-828-7024).  Great stock of used
	books, excellent for collectors of old SF hardbacks.  Also has lots
	of used vinyl LPs.  Very laid-back and friendly place.  If you need
	a late-night book fix, they have several shelves of books
	outside--25 cents apiece, on the honor system, all money goes to a
	local classical radio station.  "Probably the best general-purpose
	used bookstore in Raleigh, but that doesn't say much."  Mon-Fri
	10AM-9PM, Sat 10AM-6PM, Sun 1PM-6PM.
Second Foundation (136 E Rosemary, Chapel Hill, 919-967-4439).  Small new
	and used SF bookstore.  Also sells comics.  Small but well-chosen,
	well-organized used paperback section.  The books are mostly in
	plastic bags so they aren't too badly beaten up.  Mon-Sat 10AM-6PM,
	Sun 12N-5PM.
Stevens Book Shop (1505 Capital Blvd, 919-834-3849; 107 W Hargett).  A large
	 warehouse.  Used books only, specializing in religion.  Many, many
	books, not always well-sorted.   Often interesting finds among the
	tables of children's library discards.  They have a second, smaller
	store downtown.  Mon-Sat 9AM-6PM.
Wellington's Books (Kilmayne Dr, Cary, 919-467-0815).  Another good
	independent bookstore.  Keeps a good stock of local authors' works,
	also has a very good children's book section.
Wentworth & Leggett (Brightleaf Square shopping center, 905 W Main, Durham,
	919-688-5311).  A very small store.  Their stock is more upscale,
	e.g., old and rare, "fine bindings," etc.  They also sell old maps,
	railway timetables, and things of that sort.  Mon-Sat 11AM-6PM.

Blowing Rock, NC:

Happy Apple Farm (To get there: From Blowing Rock, go south on Hwy 321.
	About 2 miles past the Green Tree Inn (a HUGE, old, beautiful, white
	wooden building) turn left onto Blackberry Rd.  Go .6 miles--follow
	the signs.  704-295-7367).  This store is fairly new, so the
	selection is limited (~12,000 volumes), but the prices are good.
	Older books mostly, only used books.  This store does not get much
	traffic, so you may want to call first to be sure they'll be open
	when you get there--especially after driving .6 miles over a gravel
	road.  Open seven days a week 10AM-5PM daily, weather permitting.

Boone, NC:

The Curiosity Shop (601 W King St, 704-264-9600).  This shop in downtown
	Boone, near Appalachian State University, has new books downstairs,
	used books upstairs--a modest selection of both hardbacks and
	paperbacks at good prices.

Carrboro, NC:

Nice Price Books (100 Boyd, 919-929-6222).  Medium-sized used bookstore.
	General stock, tending towards mass-market stuff as opposed to old
	and rare.  Also sell used LPs and CDs.  Mon-Sat 10AM-10PM, Sun
	12N-10PM.

Charlotte, NC:

Barnes & Noble (Hwy 74; Hwy 51).
Bedford Falls Books & Toys (615 S. Sharon Amity Rd).  19,000 titles, 8000
	toys, 300 audiobooks, 300 videotapes, and 70 CD-ROMs.  Written up
	in PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 20 Feb 95.
Carolina Bookshop (2440 Park Rd, 704-375-7305).  Great selection of history,
	especially regional (Southern) and military.  Strong selections of
	Real (tm) literature as well, though not quite as strong as Poplar
	Street Books in this respect.  Helpful staff, good atmosphere, and
	all that.  50,000+ titles, good prices.  Open Tue-Sat 10:30AM-6PM.
Dilworth Books (2035 South Blvd, 704-372-8154).  Used books, Real (tm)
	literature.  Good selection, ~50,000 volumes, medium prices.  Mostly
	older books, hardcover.  Open Tue-Sat 10:30AM-6PM.
Poplar Street Books (226 W Tenth, 704-372-9146).  The lady who owns this
	book store (on the first floor of her house) is quite knowledgeable
	and helpful about books.  Mostly used books, but also some
	hard-to-find in-print books, the complete of collection of Dover's
	Thrift Editions, etc.  Strong sections of poetry and other Real (tm)
	literature, but lots of other stuff too (piles on the floor).
	50,000+ titles, good prices.  Definitely worth looking at.  From
	downtown Charlotte, take Poplar east (the section that is one-way
	goes east) until shortly before it dead-ends.  The big white house
	on the righthand corner is the bookstore.  There are signs that say
	"No Parking" but the small print underneath it says it's okay for
	two hours (this usually confuses first-time visitors).  Open Tue-Sat
	10AM-6PM.
Sweet Union Flea Market (US 74 East towards Monroe--Flea Market on left).
	Actually two shops, side by side.  Together they offer a decent
	selection, and the prices are generally low.  Used books only.
	Readable copies mostly, some nice.  I like the selections of SF and
	Real (tm) literature, but there are also significant amounts of
	history, mystery, religion, children's books, etc.  The ladies who
	own the stores are very helpful.  Open Sat-Sun 9AM-5PM.

Statesville, NC:

Lester's Bookshop (118 W Broad St, 704-871-2424).  New and used books,
	specializing in theology and such.  This is a small store in
	downtown Statesville, easy to reach from I-77 (take the first exit
	to downtown when going South (just South of I-40) and turn
	right--it's a couple miles).  The selection is small but good, and
	the prices are low.  The owner is helpful, and the store is elegant,
	yet comfortable.

Books and Cases (800 Miami Circle NE, 404-231-9107 or 800-788-9107).  Sell,
	rent, restore and repair fine books and art.  They also restore and
	build bookcases.
Borders Book Shop (3637 Peachtree Rd NE, 404-237-0707; Dunwoody; Gwinnett
	Mall).  Your typical Borders book shop.  Foreign-language books and
	good selection of newspapers and magazines.
C Dickens/Books (3393 Peachtree Rd NE (Lenox Mall, 404-231-3825).
	Specializing in used and rare books.  "They've got another store in
	South Carolina, I think.  Prices are kind of high, but they have a
	wide selection. "
Chapter 11 (8 stores in the metro area).  "Small stores in strip shopping
	centers, limited stock (on the order of a small Waldenbooks), but
	everything is at least 11% off.  Fiction and non-fiction bestsellers
	are 30% off.  Will order anything they can get, still at 11% off."

Oxford Bookstores (360 Pharr Rd, Buckhead, 404-262-3333; 2345 Peachtree Rd;
	one other location).  "Oxford Bookstores are open every single day
	and night late, have live music and coffee shops as well as books,
	CDs, videos, posters, gifts, paperbacks, many sections of interests
	and so on.  *Highly* recommended for all types of readers."  But
	another poster writes, "They tend to be disorganized and messy (hard
	to navigate around stacked books on the floor, things are hard to
	find, and the stock is erratic--you won't find consistent stocking
	of authors' non-current books here, unless that author is a favorite
	of an employee. Special orders are also erratic--can take a long
	time or get lost altogether.  Oxford takes longer to get new
	releases than either other independents or the big chains.  All that
	said, this is the largest of the independents in Atlanta, and
	certainly worth visiting for book people."  There is a coffeeshop
	("Cup and Chaucer") in the Peachtree Battle store.  The Buckhead
	location has an art gallery.
Oxford Too (2395 Peachtree Rd NE, 404-262-3411).  "No longer owned by

        They have the largest selection of used science fiction in town."
Science Fiction and Mystery Bookstore (2000-F Cheshire Bridge Rd, 
        404-634-3226).  "Small storefront, dim lighting, packed with 
        books.  An invisible line down the middle of the store divides
        SF on the left from mysteries on the right.  Knowledgeable staff."
U. S. Government Bookstore (999 Peachtree NE, Room 100, 404-347-1900,).
	"Did you know that the U. S. Government Printing Office operates 24
	bookstores across the country?  ...and that they have some of the

Athens GA:

Athens Bible Bookstore (2445 Jefferson Rd, 706-548-2444)
Barnett's Newsstand (147 College Ave, 706-353-0530).  Mostly magazines,
	though there is a decent selection of "classics," Cliff Notes, SF,
	mystery, and romance. Not a terrific amount of depth, but the
	breadth is good,  and there's always Budwine in the back cooler.
Baxter Street Bookstore (360 Baxter, 706-549-3081).  Textbooks for
	comparison shoppers.
Bizarro Wuxtry (197 East Clayton, upstairs, no phone).  Comics, zines, and
	records.  Devlin runs a shop with a whole lot of personality and
	lots of stuff, too.  Not much in the way of books (except books of
	comic, of course), but it's well worth a stop.
Blue Moon Books (143 Jackson, 706-549-0993; 282 East Clayton, 706-353-8877).
	The Jackson Street location is cozy and pleasant.  The sales help 
	knows the selections and are willing to help.  The E Clayton
	location (around the corner, and the former Book Center) leans more
	to current books.  "I haven't been in there lately, but walking past
	it seems that the ambience of the store has improved."  Not a huge
	selection, but big for Athens.
Bookland (Georgia Square Mall, 706-549-6182).
	A chain bookstore based in Birmingham.  A lot of magazines and 
	collectible stuff for a chain store.
Book Peddlers (Beechwood Shopping Center, 706-546-7427).
	Formerly known as Book Warehouse, and that's what it is.  Lots of 
	discount books.  Good for browsing.
The Carpenter's Shop (756 North Chase, 706-546-7375).  Christian bookstore.
Chapter 11 Books (124 Alps Road 353-6493).  New(ish) in Athens.  Not quite
	as large as Book Warehouse, and the same style of bookstore.
Comics and Music Unlimited (50 Gaines School Road 548-8045).  "New and used:
	bargains & odd genres" says the Flagpole Guide. 
Doorkeeper Bookstore (2301 College Station Road 548-8045).  Christian books

Follett Textbook Exchange (FTX) (723 Baxter, 706-369-7399).  Textbooks for
	comparison shoppers.

	a selection of children's books.
Jackson Street Books (260 North Jackson, 706-546-0245).  An absolutely
	terrific used bookstore.  Chairs and couches for reading, good music
	playing, and a wonderful selection and atmosphere. Some first
	editions (I beleive), and both hardback and paperback, prints and
	photos.
Killian's Books and More (895 West Broad, 706-549-1533).  Christian books.
Lemstone Book Branch (Georgia Square Mall 354-4484).  Christian books.
Normal News and Tobacco (1294 Prince Ave, 706-543-3045).  Not as many
	paperbacks as Barnett's, but just as many magazines. The tobacco
	part of the store is much more prevalent than in Barnett's.
Off-Campus Book Store (696 Baxter, 706-548-9376; 1054 South Lumpkin,
	706-548-2747).  Textbooks for comparison shoppers.
	Fraternity/Sorority merchandise at South Lumpkin location.
The Old Black Dog Bookstore (1700 South Lumpkin, 706- 549-2449).  "My
	favorite Athens bookstore.  Located in an old house in the Five 
	Points area which it shares with the Lumpkin Cafe, the selection is
	not as wide as Blue Moon, but the Southern shelves are fantastic.
	The store holds readings and other events, more so than any other
	Athens store, and a copy of the NY Times Book Review is
	complimentary with purchase.  A complete selection of Dr. Suess
	along with other children's books.  Also a good gardening selection.
The Oracle (228 East Clayton, no phone).  "A performance art piece
	masquerading as a bookstore.  Everything's old, everything's
	interesting.  Emphasis on the 60s 70s and large television sets.
Stovepipe (243 West Washington, through Jittery Joe's, 706-369-0202).
	Connected to Jittery Joe's coffeehouse, Stovepipe is determinedly 
	underground, with zines and a limited books selection.  Been closed
	for a while, but is back in business, apparently.
The University of Georgia Bookstore (UGA Campus, Tate Plaza, 706-542-3171).
	Huge Huge Huge.  All the UGA textbooks upstairs.  Downstairs is 40%
	UGA apparel/gifts, 20% new books (the local/UGA authors section is
	the most interesting, but there is a decent selection of SF), 20%
	computer store (hardware and software for sale to UGA faculty,
	students and staff only) and 20% Art/School supplies.  A one-stop
	shopping paradise.  Avoid at all costs on football Saturdays.  Not
	for the comparison shopper.
University of Georgia Press (330 Research Dr, between College Station 
	and Barnett Shoals, 706-369-6163).  UGA Press is prodigious, and
	here you can buy books published.  Keep an eye out for the
	occasional "damaged book" sales.
Waldenbooks (Georgia Square Mall, 706-543-8832).  A Waldenbooks in a mall.
