Well, at this point, about 90% of my book shave come from B. Daltons.
It took me a long time to build up a collection, and I go to evey one I
get a chance to go to, either in Iowa, Oregon, or New York.  So far, I
now believe that it is better to write to the publisher for a list of
books with Apple // as a topic.  As far as I know, the two best sources
are SAMS, and Penguin Books.  There is also the Balcksburg Continuing
education series.

Other than that, I try to go to non-chain stores, like a place called
Powell's Books here in Portland.  THe deal in used books, and they
sometime have interesting stuff.

If anyone wants an address, I think I could scroung one up.  Or just go
to the store and pull it off a book.
