Also, my friend Terry Gilman owns Mysterious Galaxy, which sells primarily science fiction and fantasy, in San Diego (http://www.mystgalaxy.com/). She will be opening a second store in the South Bay next year, called Mysterious Galaxy @ the Beach.

Maybe I will see you tomorrow night?

I just want to add there’s also a unique bookshop/cafe in Bali that sells secondhand books and new, books about Bali, CDs and gifts. You can go to http://www.ganeshabooksbali.com
Hope it helps!

Have you checked out the independents in Tucson Arizona? Bookman’s, which sells mostly used, but some new has just about every special service you list above!

We are blessed with several other nice independents, too.

Have you interviewed Larry McMurtry about his book selling experience? (He once had one in Tucson, which is why he comes to mind).

I write about travel and books at A Traveler’s Library, and did a piece on travel book stores which you might find interesting.

Best wishes,

Vera
