Uncle Hugo's in Minneapolis is like that. Granted, science fiction and mystery aren't what everyone is looking for, but they know their stuff. I took a friend there, and he was looking for a book, but didn't know the author or the title of the book. He had only a vague description, but he had that book in his hands in about a minute. That's how independent bookstores have to survive, being snobbish leads to failure.
