Carlos, when I lived in the Seattle area, I used to hang out at a fantastic book store on Main street in Auburn called Comstocks. It has the best selection of military books and used magazines I have ever seen at good prices. Is this the same shop or different? It seems odd that two major book stores catering to the military crowd would both be in the bustling metropolis of Auburn. I think the owner of Comstocks was a gentleman named Dave. Can anyone shed some light?
