Okay, I should clarify that the local stores are sometimes unwilling to order 3PP d20 System/OGL books since they aren't consider current. This has even happened with 3PP boks that are 4e compatible (XRP's Advanced Player's Guide).
One store I order older d20 System/OGL books for me if a distributor still has a copy sitting in a warehouse, somewhere. They won't ask the distributor to try to get an older book if the distributor doesn't have it already. That is how I got Hamunaptra.
For example, I'm getting a couple of the newer Castles & Crusades books but there aren't any of the older Castle Zagyg C&C books available from any of their distributors and they won't go off-the-map to try to find it for me. FYI... the store is comic store first and anything else second.
Roleplaying books tend to have a very short lifespan in Edmonton. If something isn't very popular, it disappears out of the distribution chain really fast.
Well, they can always order it directly from Studio 2 Publishing if their distributor doesn't have it.
