 yes they are usually not sorted. I have almost always been able either find to find a few books in under 10 minutes or decide there was nothing I wanted though. I don't do paper books any more, but I did buy some for a friend in the north in a town without book sellers of any kind last year and I was amazed to buy 20 books of the type that she likes for $10 in a very short time. And they were mostly recently published so unlikely that she had read them.
