I've found it at Barnes & Nobles, Borders, Powells Books, and I think I've
even found it at Fred Meyer's (NW Chain of stores that sells a little of
everything).

If some place can beat Powells Books, then how big are they? Powells Books
takes up an entire city block, is multi-story for a good chunk of that
block. They don't even stock technical books in the main store, for that
you've got to go a couple blocks away and the Technical Bookstore is has
more books than most normal bookstores! Plus they've got so many books
that they had to open another LARGE store about 20 minutes away, and then
finally get at least one warehouse. They've been one of Amazon's major
suppliers from Amazon's start.
