I only had a few minutes to peruse the shelves before closing time, but I saw a first edition UK printing of Master and Commander that I was absurdly tempted to buy, so Gregor apparently knows what's good!

Gregor is my place for the finest books. I purchased my first in 1988, Keith William Nolan's "Death Valley". Gregor delivers quality at a fair price. Thanks, Dave!
