Guest Blogging Again: How do you find new books?

My monthly blog at APEX is up today. This month I'm talking about the fact that I can't go to the bookstore and simply browse for new books and authors like I used to . . . and the fact that it's put a crimp in my book buying style. I like to support new authors, but since I can't find them on the shelf as easily anymore, I know I'm missing out on a bunch of them out there, since the only way I hear about them anymore is word of mouth. So I pose the question: How do you find new books? You can answer here or over at the APEX blog.

I make friends with the fellow SF/Fantasy geek who works at the store. Then we trade off authors. It's fun, enjoyable, and makes for great conversations about books.

See, I'd do this, except that the local B&N doesn't seem to have an SF geek, and all of the other bookstores have closed or don't really carry SF. *sigh*
