WordsWorth는 책이 굉장히 많이 있고, Book Stack은 telnet을 해서 직접 자기가 책을 찾아 볼 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있습니다. 단, 주문하고 책을 받을때까지 걸리는 시간이 두달이 될 경우도 있습니다. WordsWorth Books (30 Brattle Street, Cambridge MA 02138-3761, 800-899-2202 or +1-617-354-4223, FAX +1-617-354-4674, info@wordsworth.com). The flag-ship of Harvard Square book shops with 100,000+ titles. Has been offering their book store service through e-mail for quite a while. "Their staff have managed to locate and send many books for me (in Sweden) via UPS Express at costs equal or less than buying at a real store (hardcovers especially). What's more, the book search costs only one dollar. Their collection is really huge, too." Mon-Sat 8:30AM-11:30PM, Sun 10AM-10:30PM). GMT-5h Book Stack Unlimited (telnet to books.com, then browse).

GMT-8h Cody's (2454 Telegraph, Berkeley CA +1 510-845-7852). "One of the two stores in the Bay area I hold up as the definition of the term 'bookstore.' (The other is Kepler's in Menlo Park.)" A very large selection of just about everything (foreign-language books on Dwight just west of Telegraph). "Cody's is the only book store in the Bay Area with a significant selection of books on various subjects that interest me (including Judaica, system dynamics and whitewater maps). It is true that it isn't as good as it was when Fred Cody was alive ... but it's still a damn good store." There is even a book about Cody's: CODY'S BOOKS: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A BERKELEY BOOKSTORE, 1956-1977, by Pat and Fred Cody (it was described in an article in the August 3, 1992 issue of "Publishers Weekly").
