Actually, thats exactly what happened to me there today. I found a book
that amazon and barnes and noble have said is out of print for 6 months.
I picked it up at microcenter for cheap. 

They even had current slackware and freebsd cd's for cheap. Its weird to
be in a city now where people have heard of this stuff.
