The regular book stores such as Barnes and Noble didn't even have the classics, just the fraudulent books. I found the classics at second hand bookstores, which I honestly expected a better haul considering the large amount of casinos in my area. I'm starting to look at second hand bookstores when I want books, hoping they're there, and if not, just ordering them online. Any other bookstore seems to just have generalized modern "pop" books along with rehashed classics. A shame really.
