I don't remember every getting such service at a "bricks-and-mortar" store. What I remember instead was, "According to our computer, that book is out of stock and we don't carry it. Sorry...." FWIW, I had been looking for a copy of an out-of-print book. Amazon located a copy after almost a year (!), and offered it to me for ~$20. I balked at the price (not sure why). I then noticed an out-of-print locator service at b&n.com. They had a copy available to sell to me directly from an associated bookstore, for ~$27. This is better service (I balked again), and I hope Amazon can improve their ability to locate such items in the databases of their friendly associate bookstores... Randy
