Even booksellers order stuff from Amazon.
=(
In our defense, we only order stuff we're never going to see in the normal course of events. Bruce picks up a lot of very specialized art books (we almost literally never see anything on contemporary west coast painters) and I pick up very specialized cookbooks, and sometimes books of woodcuts.
The rule of thumb in the business is that the more specialized a title is the less chance you have of finding it used.
A cookbook?
Sure.
A book on rice?
If you're really lucky.
A book on making stuff with your rice cooker (or your pressure cooker, etc etc)?
Don't hold your breath.
