Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

we've just added a Bookstores section to our resources pages that you folks should check out. we've got a list of specialty book stores that deal only/primarily in Science Fiction and Fantasy books! these are some kick butt shops and should you be lucky enough to have one in your neck of the woods, run, don't walk, and buy your books from them!

if you know of any brick and mortar stores that we've missed please let us know and we'll add them to our list. we're looking for independent bookstores with a physical location, not online shops or comic stores that happen to sell a few SFF books.

one sweet example of what we're talking about is Borderlands Books in San Fran. i've not been myself but Rico has and he took this cool gigapan of the place. if you've not seen gigapan before it's a massive pic that you can zoom way in on for more details. click a few of the snapshots to see what i mean. you can even read the book spines. pretty cool.

man, i wish those guys were in Dallas! the proprietor, Alan (abeatts in the forum), is a member here so you can ask him any questions you might have. be sure to visit his website for more details!
