Powell's is great--neater and more space--like Targets versus a department store. But the fun here is discovery, getting lost, and in the process coming out with far less dough than I had when I walked in. Another great place is Bookwise in Boca.

I take a few days off and when I get back, you've been in a car wreck AND visited my favorite bookstore! I've been going to Chamblin for years. Were you just in there, Jeff? Wow, I don’t believe it.

I found a book in that picture that I want (the collection by Damon Knight)! And I quickly found it online for $1! Thanks! PS: Wouldn't it be better if that bookstore were in a less hot, humid climate, further from hurricanes? Oooh! I found a book in that picture that I want (the collection by Damon Knight)!

Just two shopping bags worth of purchases this time. <i>My uncle’s long-running Seattle used book store closed recently</i> Was this Horizon, by chance? I found some great signed mass-market paperbacks by Avram Davidson there; in each inscription he complained about the stupid cover art the publishers had chosen. I miss that place already.

It's a collection by Kornbluth with, strangely, the editor Blish's name on the spine. I know that was driving you all crazy, but it's cool. I'll call in the morning and let them know. If only I didn't live in the opposite corner of the 48! Oh well, there's always Powell's. Thirteen O’Clock and Other Zero Hours is mis-shelved in anthologies.
