Default Bookstores and poker books

Hi,

Apologies if I'm slightly OT.

I'm in the UK and have yet to find any bookstores that carry a selection of poker books.

In a few weeks I'm off to America and wondered if anyone could point me to a bookstore near Kissimmee/Orlando that carries a nice selection of poker books.

I already have a lot of the mainstream stuff, I want somewhere I can browse. Does such a place exist ?

Cheers,

Frelled.

Borders and Barnes & Noble are the two major book chains. Both of them should have locations near Orlando, and they'll each have maybe one rack, top to bottom, of poker books.

Why not get 'em from Amazon before you go?
That way, you can read 'em on the plane.

Yes it does. And it's in the UK. Try High Stakes Bookshop. I don't know if you live in London, but if so you can go in and browse. They stock just about every poker book available, including 2+2.

In addition, you can go to www.bn.com or www.borders.com and use their "Store Locator" to look for the closest one to where you'll be staying in Orlando.

Both places should have several books, but in my experience Borders usually has the better selection.

Awesome, thanks for that link. Thats the first time I have ever seen a bookshop in the UK that actually sells 2+2 books. Everwhere else I go, like Waterstones, Borders and so on have stuff like Hellmuth's book, but no 2+2.

Mason, if you can get your books into shops over here, I know for a fact they will sell.
