Which is probably why we have so many bookstores.
Hey, I've spent plenty of time in Borders when I lived in the big city, but as the chain stores start dying, and since I live somewhere where the nearest one is over an hour away, I have to say I'm not going to be sad to see the big chains die. They killed bookstores, really. It's just karma.

+1 to this. It was part of the business plan to kill those bookstores.
