("please don't spit on our books") tacked up everywhere. There's a branch in 
the U district, too: 1311 NE 45th (near the Neptune), 545-4226, not 
reviewed yet.

<dt><b>U.S. Government Bookstore </b> Room 194, 915 Second Avenue 553-4270  
<dd>A branch office of the U.S. Gov't Printing Office. See how the State
attempts to represent itself! A mixture of mundanity, mind-boggling
trivia, nationalist bombast, and the truly odd.

<dt><b>University Bookstore </b> 4326 University Ave  634.3400
<dd>Big, comprehensive selection -- they're strong in just about every
category. UW students, staff, and alumni get a (fluctuating) rebate on 
purchases (this year it is 9%). Truly outstanding sections on travel, 
philosophy, technology, women's
studies, literary criticism, contemporary and genre fiction 
(especially sci-fi and horror), field guides, and poetry. Good magazine,
adequate journal section. Helpful and informed staff, except for that one
guy at the Info desk who can't spell and apparently considers each request
a malicious attack on his abilities.

<h2>Around the Sound</h2>
<dl>

<dt>Tacoma Book Center (324 E 26th, one block from Tacoma Dome-take the Tacoma
	Dome exit from I5, corner of 26th and D, 206-572-8248).
<dd>Very good
	selection of used and collectible books at good prices.  Worth the
	stop if you're traveling through.

<dt>Book World (I and II) (23406 Pacific Hwy S, Kent, and 23824 104th
SE, Kent).
<dd> Both are just your typical old supermarket turned into a (large)  used bookstore.

<dt>Comstock's Bindery and Bookshop (257 E Main, Auburn--formerly on Ranier Ave
	S in Seattle, 206-939-8770).
<dd>Good selection of used SF, history,
	military.  "As a book binder primarily he has interest in
	antiquarian books.  He gets a lot of books donated from local
	libraries that he then binds up and resells.  The most tenacious man
	at finding an out-of-print book I have ever found, especially rare
	and unusual SF.  Has reading rooms, two store cats and one store dog
	(Bouvier de Flanders) often mistaken for large rug.  Very
	knowlegeable on many subjects, and will without hesitation send you
	to a competitor if they have the volume you need.  Used to be
	located in Seattle, moved down to Auburn for cheaper rents, keeps
	expanding, and may soon have the entire block of buildings as a
	bookstore.  He and his wife will help you find anything you want or
	need, and will spend time to make sure you get what you want in many
	subjects, including assessing the value of an older book.  2-for-1
	trade-ins for SF and others; will outright buy rare titles.  Will
	give you a better price than other antiquarians in Seattle area."
Wonderworld Books and Gifts (455 SW 152nd, Burien west of the Sea/Tac
	Airport).  Large collection of new paperback and hardback SF and
	cinema, comics, role-playing games, and collectibles.


<dt>B & M Books (Mount Vernon, take the George Hopper exit).
<dd>This is about a 90-minute drive
	from Seattle.  For anyone who likes used bookstores, this is worth
	the drive up, at least once.  The bookstore is run out of a
	converted warehouse almost solely by this old dude.  There are more
	books in this place than in any store I've ever been in, including
	the Tattered Cover.  The books are vaguely ordered by first letter
	of authors last name, and subject.  All books are *very* cheap, but
	you may get a bit frustrated when trying to find a specific book.
	There are, of course, cats running around which you may run into
	randomly while lost in the labyrinth, and there's a huge fireplace
	they fire up on cold days.

<h2>Portland</h2>

What's a mere 2.5hr drive south if Powell's is at the other end ?
Information from: Britt Klein ([e-mail]).<p>

<dt>Captain's Nautical Supplies (138 NW 10th Ave, 503-227-1648).
<dd>"They had the
	best supply of maps I have ever seen outside of the USGS office in
	VA.  Worth checking out."  Almost exclusively maps.

<dt>Conant & Conant Booksellers (1001 SW 10th Ave, 503-241-7726).

	coffeehouse in here, too.  Pleasant atmosphere and a very broad
	selection.

	Portland Science Fiction Society is available here.

<dt>Hawthorne Boulevard Books (3129 SE Hawthorne Blvd.503-236-3211).  
<dd>SE
	Hawthorne Boulevard is the readers' paradise.  Something like thirty
	booksp into any one and get a lista
	of the other Hawthorne Blvd. booksellers, then budget an entire day
	for some of the best browsing of your life.

<dt>Powell's City of Books (main store) (1005 W Burnside, 800-878-7372 or
	[phone], FAX [phone]).
	<dd>Truly a national treasure,
	one of the wonders of Portland.  Powell's has new and used books by
	the millions.  Its depth and coverage exceeds most large-city
	libraries.  There is a coffee shop in the store for more serious
	browsing.  This store is an easy walk from the Amtrak station; one
	reader reports returning to the train with an additional piece of
	carry-on luggage after her four-hour layover.  Will ship worldwide.
	Does searches for out-of-print books.

	used bookstore, with used and publisher's overstock in all
	categories.  There is a children's section in a separate store next
	to it.

	most *ahem* unusual and interesting things you'll find anywhere?"

<dt>Twenty-Third Avenue Books (1015 NW 23rd, 503-224-5097).

	is the arts center of Oregon.  A walk around will find this place
	and many more of interest to the reader.

<dt>Wrigley-Cross Books (8001A Powell Blvd, 503-775-4943).
<dd>A general used-book
	store, selling both paperbacks and hardcovers, which also carries
	some new hardcover SF, horror, and mystery; also a good place to
	find imports.  "It is a comfy and pleasant store, with a varied and
	eclectic selection well-suited to generalists.  The owners are
