  And thusly Zane H. Healy spake:

 P.S. The place I have found with the *most*
selection of magazines is the
World's Biggest Bookstore in downtown Toronto.  
 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.

 When it originally came into being, there were no other book stores (that I 
 knew of) like it.  Nowadays the Chapters and B&N's are about the same size.

Then the main Powells has them beat without even trying.  Shoot, Powells
Technical is almost that big :^)
