You have many very *good* bookstores there, too. This would also cause me a problem. Granted, I've run across a few unusual things I ended up enjoying very much digging through the dross is small town shops. Did you know the Jehovah's Witnesses print little books of children's stories based on the Bible? Not that those were good, they were surprising dross, but it introduced me to both Ellis Peters and Elizabeth Peters' historically based mysteries, which I enjoy.

These days I actually buy most of my books online, because I'm interested in topics that aren't well represented (or at all) in local book stores. I still do enjoy browsing in a good shop when I get a chance, though. Nothing beats finding something marvelous that one would never have stumbled over otherwise.
