This makes it sound like before B&N there was a vibrant landscape of competitive independent small booksellers in every small town and suburb providing top-notch individualized service at marvellous prices, whereas in actuality we were more often captive to the mall bookstores and grocery/drugstore shelves with absolutely horrid selection and a clear priority to bestsellers. You had to go to a city to get to a quality, independent bookstore.
My only regret is that the big box bookstore era is over because B&N and Borders are fabulous compared to what came before.

I also doubt they tore out their restrooms.

Might as well if the water's shut off.
