Are PHP books hard to find in bookstores?

[Anon]

Not a coding problem but I just want to know of others are having similar experiences:

I'm not talking about online bookstores, but in my visits over the past couple months to various bookstores (Borders, Barnes and Noble, other stores big and small) I've been finding that PHP books are hard to find. I see ASP books take up entire stacked shelves. Most of the time I'll only find one or two, and sometimes none at all.

Anyone else having similar experiences?

I get most of my books online nowadays but sometimes I just wake to take a look at something before I buy it.

i guess that all depends on where you live.....i live in new zealand which is miles from anywhere, but i still php books in bookshops that specialise in the web and pc's, etc.
But I doubt you'll ever see as many books on php3 as here are on asp.........well....we hopefully one day maybe?

I haven't found many, but I do find them. There is usually only one copy of any PHP book on the shelf though (there might be six copies of a VB book or C++ book by comparision).
