I have been in a book shop like that in Hastings (UK). Two stacks of books before the shelves, and it was worse in the basement, according to the owner. He was a living computer. You tell him you want something about topic and he got three books out of the basement, and tells you it's all he has.
Over the course of a few days, we bought several folding boxes of books there.
