No Were to be found!!!!

So after doing some searching though the book, "On the Line" by Eric Ripert, I noticed that I am going to have to pick up a few more of his books, more specifically, "Le Bernardi", and "A Return to Cooking".....I thought to my self.....No problem, I can pick them up on the cheap at the Half Priced Books that is a five minute drive around the corner...of course its not that easy. I get to where the book store is....NOPE....they closed down.....OF COURSE THEY DID!!!!! so i took out my phone...the next closest Half Priced Books store is a 15 minute drive...but i know there is a Barnes&Noble 5 minutes away..... so I head there, they would have it they are Barnes & Noble right? guess again...NO Barnes & Noble in the Austin area has ANY of Eric Ripert's books. So i bite the bullet and drive the 15 minutes to the OTHER Half priced books....LOL, I will give you ONE guess what i find.......NOTHING!!!! REALLY!!!!! I do find a book by Gordon Ramsey that has recipes from his F word TV show....so not a total loss..... as I pay for the book that I got, I ask the Lady helping me out if any of the other Stores in the Area have the books that I am looking for, she tells me that the Downtown Location has " A Return to Cooking"...I say it can't be that bad can it (granted its now 330 and I am heading to Downtown Austin). So I get back on the freeway and not but 5 Minutes later I hit traffic.... @#$$!%!.....i thought to my self.....and to make it worse the guy in front of me goes for 5 feet then slams on the breaks, drives 5 feet then slams on the breaks...over, and over and over again....@#$$!%%!!!!!!......WHAT IS THIS GUYS DEAL!!!!! i change lanes and its an old guy with oxygen.....THANKS NOW I FEEL LIKE A JERK!!!!!...... anyway I get down town and I turn on to the street that I need to get to the Half Priced Books and I see this HUGE Used book store called "The Book People"...I said What the heck I am here already.....so I stop in......YAHTZEE!!!! I FINALLY Find what I am looking for. they had Both books, but I settled on "A return to Cooking" and to top it off, it is an Eric Ripert Autographed Edition.....
