Much of your Dallas / Ft Worth stuff is out of date, e.g., references to a bookstore called Bookstop, which was the original name of some B&N stores years ago. Dallas is also not well served by used bookstores a theme which I have already harped on enough. Nevertheless, in order to help you, I will check each entry in your list for stores in Dallas confirming either by telephone or by personal visit, and report back here within one week. Promise! |

Take care Do the eastern and western sections of Fort Worth dispute at which north--south street the border to the West lies? Good question. The Stockyards are on the east side of Main Street, and most of the (remaining) bars are on the west side. I say "Main Street" is the dividing line. :-) Hey, maps.google.com agress with me ... All the east-west streets change names when they cross Main :-) -- #include disclaimer.std /* I don't speak for IBM ... */ /* Heck, I don't even speak for myself */ /* Don't believe me ?

Thanks again for your hard work in producing these lists, even if they *are* out of date almost before the cyber-ink is dry... Minor Seattle update. Gemini Book Exchange is long gone. Flora and Fauna are not in the recent phone book; ;=( Archie McPhee ran afoul of the real estate monster in Ballard and moved back to Wallingford (about 6 blocks up Stone Way from their previous previous location). Pegasus and Leisure were still there on Tuesday. ;-) (West Seattle) Page 2 in Burien, as of a month or so ago. Worth adding is Abraxus Books, 5711 24th Ave NW, in Ballard. They built a new branch library in Ballard (along with about a dozen others on a big bond issue) and the 1970's vintage not so old library is now a used book store. Average for Science Fiction, but the Philosophy section is impressive. There's at least one more used bookstore in Ballard, too, (Epilogue Books?) that I've not been to yet.
