They lied. We have a Waldenbooks, they announced a few days ago that they are closing. They're selling out all their stock and wasting no time.

What's weird is, it's our only bookstore for like 30 miles, maybe more. I guess you could call the little indie coffee shop thing a bookstore because they sell some books, but they don't really sell a lot. So I can't see how they were doing bad. I hardly bought anything there because the prices were outrageous, but they always seemed to have people in it.
