Good place to buy literature?

I'd love to get into some minor gunsmithing and was just wondering if anybody knew of anywhere to get some good literature on getting into it? Do you think places like Barnes & Nobles or Borders would have anything like that? Or would I have to go to somewhere a little more specific to the field? As always, any info is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use.

Try www.rayrilingarmsbooks.com and get a catalog. They are gun people and IMHO better to buy from than general book sellers, plus their inventory of gun books is much more extensive.

Along with all the other suggestions, I have found used book stores to sometimes have a great find.
Often times, people are just cleaning out a loved ones house and take the books to the used store.
I have three large stores in my area and try to visit them once or so a month.

Gun shows, Amazon or your local public library. Most of the large retail chains have stopped carrying any firearm related books and magazines.
