Walter,
I too have heard that SoftPro is a good store but haven't made the personal
investment (time/driving in town/finding it/etc) to know first hand.  Like
Jason Wells, I have used Boulder Bookstore at the west end of Pearl St Plaza
(1 blk W of Braodway at Pearl). Not a bad selection but not terrific either.


What I do is look at reviews in TPJ or on Amazon and Fatbrain then see if I
can find the book @ a local store to browse. Boulder Bookstore has a better
hit rate that B&N or Border's. (I spread my book buying between BBstore,
Amazon & Fatbrain to balance service vs purchase...like anyone cared.)
