A plug for two book stores (Appendix N readers take note)

I was in San Francisco this weekend and had the opportunity to visit two outstanding book stores. If you're an Appendix N fan, make sure to drop by these places when you're in San Francisco.

KAYO BOOKS
http://www.kayobooks.com/
Two stories focused on pulp novels from the 1940s to present, including a large fantasy section and staggering amounts of artistic/graphic inspiration for those interested in the "look" of pulp.

BORDERLANDS BOOKS
http://www.borderlands-books.com/
A large book store focused exclusively on fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. That by itself isn't too unusual but Borderlands has not only new books but also an extensive used section, which makes it great if you're looking for Appendix N goodies. They have an entire section devoted to Lovecraft, multiple Clark Ashton Smith books in stock (including his "complete collection" series), a ridiculous selection of ERB books, and more.

So where do you guys pick up your fantasy / sci-fi / horror books? Any other great book stores I should visit?

BookDepository, Amazon, eBay... This is the order of priority. :)
It's worth checking out http://bookfinder.com/ too, it searches for books on quite a few book stores.

The next time you're in Chattanooga (seems like you're there fairly often), you must go to McKays. We have one here in Knoxville too. They are the most awesome used bookstores in the universe. Big store, big selection, high turnover. Seriously, every time I go to the one here, there's around a couple of hundred people there. It's just amazing.

I live outside Chattanooga, McKays is AWESOME - I picked up my first batch of Appendix N books there about a month ago.

I have also chanced upon a few nice RPG buys there as well, got a Moldvay Expert rulebook there, in real good condition for about 3 bucks.

Greetings,

I just picked up some nice SF/Fantasy art books at Jackson Street Books in Athens, Georgia.

Here's a web thingy: http://www.jacksonst-books.com/

They also have a search ability to help you find that obscure copy of Michael Moorcock, etc.

Black & Read in Denver, CO is a great store for used paperbacks as well as new and used RPGs.

I also like Powell's Books in Portland, OR. They do new, used, and OOP.
http://www.powells.com/

Both of them do online sales.
