I have been in to The Writer's Block many times in the past, both to purchase books and for the events they hold in the back. This particular visit was to purchase a book I had heard about during banned books week.
I wrote to them on Twitter to see if a book was in stock. They provided me with an email address. I wrote to them and quickly got a response back; the book was not in stock but they could order it for me and would take about 2-3 days. It arrived when they stated and included free gift wrapping. Score!
