Actually...........
Last weekend at the B&N in Memphis, I found:
4 different books on IBM's DB2 database
Frank Soltis' _Inside the AS/400_ (which I scarfed up on the spot)

Not much, but a start.

Hey... If the bookstore can have $50-75 books on algorithms (2), compiler
design (1), COBOL (several), and esostoric topics, they can surely stock up on
'400 books!!
