Just a quick soapbox here - The reason the local game store doesn't have 
any Deadlands is probably because nobody is buying Deadlands books from them.

If you can afford it, and if you have a store worth supporting, you should 
think about asking the store if they will order some of the books you are 
looking for - the store orders the books from their distributor, their 
distributor sees that they are selling DL books, and they order more DL 
books from the manufacturer (Pinnacle) and then everybody is happy.  :)

Or - if you are like me and already own all the books - another way to 
support your local game store is to run a game in there.  I guarantee that 
after 6 months of running in a store that you'll start to see more orange 
sitting on their shelves.
