Really depends where you live. Obviously if you live in tech hub cities you'll do better than other non hub cities.

Some recommendations: Seattle has Ada technical books. Portland has Powells. Strand in NYC has some technical books. and in Boston MIT Press Bookshop is gold. There are others.

And the miracle of websites is that you can have the selection of Portland or Boston without going there.

That can't be provided by every local book store.

Powells shut down their technical bookstore a while back
Ah that's sad, haven't been in several years that's unfortunate.
Also depends on your definition of and reaction to "virtue signaling books".
And a desire for a deep collection of classics. It’s really not just a whistle at that point, is it?
