As far as I can tell, there are four of them within 10 miles of me (one within
3).  However, there's only one of them that seems to have a good book
selection anymore.  I dropped by a few of them recently and discovered that
they'd removed most of the books regarding more technical subjects and instead
filled out the space with more application books (Lotus 1-2-3, etc.).

I can still order the books I want, assuming I know the name and/or author,
through any of the Software Etc. stores.
