Here in Jax is a store called "Chamblin's Bookmine" they feature New, Rare, Used, and Non-existant books. They are about the size of a stand alone Barnes and Noble, but their aisles are narrow and their shelves are ceiling high. They used to sell books for 1/2 the cover price, but they had so many good classic books from the fifties and sixties that were thirty five cents, they had to raise their prices to $2.00 minimum.

When shopping for my son's homeschooling, I was able to choose between 6 different translations of "Don Quixote" and a few in the original Spanish. They have a very diverse group of clerks, and if I mistakenly ask the Communist for help, he will show me to the Neo-con. I have never failed to find what I needed on subjects as diverse as Fractal Geometry and the Chaos Theory to the Libretto of "Pirates of Penzance."

Okay, I'll bite . . . what kind of non-existent books do they sell? If they have it, I'd love a copy of Famous Jewish Sports Heroes.

Non-existant books.

I've been looking for a copy of "Ethel The Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying", myself...

You're right about independent bookstores that sell used, rare and out-of-print books. They are providing a service, which you can find online these days (www.alibris.com), but it can be pleasure to rifle through the stacks at stores like those.
