What about Barnes & Noble @ 6th (??) Avenue, New York.  They have a pretty
good collection of CS books.  They claim they're the biggest bookstore in NY
(is that true?).  I suppose they do mail order, and in that case they'll
probably accept VISA or other credit cards.  It might be I can find the address
at home, but I suppose NY residents have better access to this information :-)

I have very good experiences with buying records from US paying by VISA.  I 
received the stuff only weeks after I sent the order form.
