I didn't know about the writer Graham Greene until about twenty years ago. I knew about the Native American actor, before that, and agree with, Art; he is a great actor.
we have two really great used bookshops, though I don't usually go to one of them as it is not as well-organised... everything is in a jumble and it id difficult to move around in, to read the spines, etc. The other is online also and has a very good variety of hardbacks and paperbacks. They will also get whatever one may ask for, though sometimes I go to www.addall to see what I can find, if they don't have what I am looking for to hand.
I don't like the big chain stores. They are too big, too pretty and have the latest, but I find them too jazzy, surfacy, etc. I will not go to Barnes & Noble as they will not carry any local authors who are not on the BIG LIST back at HQ. Borders, on the other hand, is quite decent about it and features locals signing their books, etc.
