Where to shop for books?

[YawningDodo]

Someone mentioned in a thread recently that Writer's Stop in DHS had closed (back in 2016, apparently!), which I suppose I should have guessed would happen with the rest of Streets of America going away. I'm kind of bummed out because Writer's Stop was a very deliberate stop on my last trip in 2015, and I was planning to stop in again when I go in 2020 because I've liked going there to peruse the books ever since I discovered it existed during my College Program.

I usually buy one or two nonfiction books in WDW on the history of the parks and attractions or on Disney animation. I know you can find those kinds of books scattered throughout thematically appropriate shops elsewhere (like the Haunted Mansion book being sold in Memento Mori), but I've always preferred to see the full array of options in one place. Is there anywhere else on property that functions as a book store? Does Mouse Gear or World of Disney have a substantial book section? Is there some bookshop somewhere I've missed? Or am I just going to have to decide yes or no on individual books as I happen to come across them throughout the entire trip?

I remember that Mouse Gear has a small section with books, and CDs and DVDs also. I wouldn't call it a bookstore, but it has more than I remember seeing in other places.

They also had a small section of books at World of Disney, but I haven't been there since the refurb, so I don't know if it's still there or not. I also remember seeing some nonfiction Disney books in the shop on Main Street in MK that starts just behind Casey's Corner. They were tucked into one of the corners by the doorway that leads to the next shop in the row.

Emporium at MK, Mousegears at Epcot, the shop at Launch Bay has some books. The Art of Disney stores. Some of the resort gift shops have books.

I checked the Shop Disney Parks app and many of the books are listed as "In store only" and when you click on it they all have a "sold out" designation. The price is still shown, and a comparison to Amazon's prices show that some titles are around half the price of the Disney app. For instance, the "Maps Of The Disney Parks" book listed on the app for $40 is $22 & change on Amazon. At those prices (and free shipping with Prime) I'd much rather buy them on-line rather than lug them home on the plane (Books are heavy!)
