That's right. In my local Bookland bookstore (a division of Books A Million) there is not a single chess book in their games and puzzles section which contains 4 shelves. There are picture puzzle books and sudoku and crossword puzzle books but no chess. There was a "zombie sudoku" book so maybe someone needs to publish a "zombie chess" book. Zombies are very popular lately so that might work.

Hi homedepotov
Why are you telling us this.
You should be saying that you noticed there were no chess books in this store
so you and your fellow members at your chess club kept going in at every
chance you got and asked for chess books.
You and your pals also phoned at least once a day asking if there were
any chess books.
You finish the post with.....
...and now the store has suddenly started stocking chess books.
BTW some stores place chess books in the sports section.
That would be a laugh if you went back there and found dozens of chess books
inbetween canoeing and cross country running.

Originally posted by greenpawn34I was just making a simple shocking observation that a brick-and-mortar bookstore doesn't stock any chess books. My outrage level doesn't rise high enough to warrant action. And I'm not a proactive extrovert type, I'm a reactive introvert type.

I get all my chess books from amazon.com or eBay anyway.
Originally posted by homedepotovIndeed ... It's sickening when the big chains do have chess books. The price range is generally $29.95 and up, and those same books are at amazon for $15 or less most of the time. I can understand people enjoying the coffee, but what's in it to make someone just give away their money? People sometimes call me cheap for not buying at the chains. It's not really being cheap if you spend the exact same amount of money and just get twice as much stuff.
