I was in the B&N in Plymouth Meeting a bit ago and the selection of
Linux books was tiny, a few small shelves maybe. I seem to remember a
few years ago there being tons of Linux books there. Maybe everyone is
buying on line and the retail stores are not carrying them anymore.
Way back, I haven't been there lately, Borders downtown used to have a
good selection and so did Microcenter in Villanova, but I haven't looked
there lately either.
It is nicer to browse through a book before buying, I agree.
