The only good thing about doing site visits around DC is the Second Story Books warehouse up in Bethesda, which is some whimsical fantasy novel rear end poo poo with bookshelves teetering overhead at 30 degree angles propped up by load-bearing Crime and Punishments taped into the superstructure but also has an extremely choice selection of every bizarre old book that has ever existed, at this point when I visit i pretty much pick a shelf at random and can expect to get an armload of good stuff out of it

Honorable mention to Station North Books in Baltimore, which IIRC I last walked out of with an illustrated Ramayana from 1890, a treatise on cyber-theology, a really exhaustive how-to guide on chemical warfare, and a deer haunch the owner threw in for free. I really hosed up cooking that haunch but that one was on me.
