Excuse me for posting to the net, but your BITNET address got trashed

/* ---------- "bookshops ?" ---------- */
GREETINGS,
This message is primarily intended for those people familiar with
 the >Manhattan< area of New York. I will be passing thru NY in a few weeks
 for a flying visit (less than 24 hours). I want to buy some reference books
 etc on WORDSTAR, dBASE II ETC and computing books in general. Can anybody
out there give me some recommendations as to where in Manhatten I should go
to get the best selection etc, as I will not have the time to go roaming around
 town looking for bookshops. Any advice on locations etc of bookshops would be
appreciated......Brian Jarvis. Geneva Switzerland.

No question.  Barnes&Noble.  Fifth Avenue at around 18th Street (It's
been a while... best to check the phone book first and get the exact
address).  They pride themselves on being able to come up with
virtually any textbook, including out-of-print ones.  I still use them
as a last-resort source when other efforts to find a book have failed,
even though I haven't lived in New York for years.
