I have a lot more luck getting my hands on the rums listed in Beach Bum Berry's Remixed than I do the Smuggler's Cove book. Both books are essential, but your mileage may vary in locating various rums between the two. The Texas liquor cartels pretty much pigeonhole every liquor store to be carbon copies of each other here in North Texas. Mom and Pop shops yield a few surprises here and there, but for the most part it's a matter of pestering the guys who can actually get their hands on stuff to order it.
