Try the Book Cellar somewhere near Battery Lane and/or Cordell Avenue
in Bethesda.

If you ever get up to Baltimore, you will find a much more satisfying
group of used book stores than I have found in the DC area.  In particular,
the Kelmscott Bookshop, the Tiber Bookshop, and the Book Miser, all on
the same block on Twenty-Fifth Street near Howard Street together provide
a very worthwhile day's browsing.  For the serious collector, the
Nineteenth Century Shop on Hollins Street is truly amazing.  Inscribulus
Books on Howard Street, not too far from Oriole Park, is a fine small shop
with a nice collection of art books, if I recall correctly.
