During the heyday of the big box bookstores -- I still miss the Borders chain -- I would always browse the science fiction and fantasy section. And I could usually count on spotting a copy of Illuminatus! in the section.
While the days of a bookstore in every big shopping center in the U.S. appear to be gone, Barnes and Noble has been making a comeback lately and is opening about 60 new stores this year. One of them has just opened in Strongsville, on the west side of Cleveland, and my wife and I visited it yesterday. I did my usual SF browse. The section was a bit confusing, as there were two separate A-Z sections, but I spotted a copy of Illuminatus!, as you can see. It was good to see it was there.
The science fiction section was pretty large and has a good balance of classic authors and newer ones.
