[randolphw]

hey man i live in a douche bag town that only plays top 40s and rap music. no book stores have the elliott smith picture book and i dont wanna ask them to order it because when i asked them to order elliott smith and the big nothing they said they would and years later i have not recieved it. i have no debit card or checking account so i cant go the way of the net. so for a huge fan whos is naming his second son after elliot help me out man.

First of all, you're naming your 2nd son after Elliott yet don't know how to spell his name correctly? There must be other bookstores near. Go to one a bit more out.

Oh cmon, he spelt it 2/3 times right, give him the benefit of the doubt! :-p
I know how you feel though, I was havin a hard time finding it to, most stores said they didn't have it on their order list, and if they did they probably wouldn't have it in time for xmas.
Found a store with 2 copies. Seemed like the only 2 in the whole town.
I can't really think of any advice other than to ask a good friend to help you out by getting it for you as an xmas present or something.
Best of luck anyway.

you already have one kid and another on the way and you dont have a credit card or even a checking account? how do you support your children? hmmm... id say ask them to order both books again, and keep hounding them weekly until they actually get it to you.

Check it out, there are 15 libraries nationwide that have it, and one in the UK.

here's the catalog record (http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77504364&referer=brief_results)

If you live near none of them, may i suggest interlibrary loan? perhaps that can hold y'all 'till you can get a copy of your own.

:yes:

do you have a car and gas money?
dont expect the book to be in every town...go to a walden books/barnes and noble
or go online and go to the book, then find the nearest seller to you.
