John King books is a major Detroit attraction. His brag about not being computerized is crazy. Can you imagine how many books he could sell online? He does have a website but it looks like it was built in the nineties - https://www.johnkingbooksdetroit.com/

But as Jay Leno learned if you need the repair manual to a ninety year old car this is the place to look. Can't order it by phone, you have to come to Detroit and wander the stacks yourself. Pack a lunch cause there's no in store cafe.
