Borders had surreally high prices on everything and a rather scattershot approach to stocking. B&N is better, but still on the high side. And neither stocked what I think of as catalog books; you just couldn't get an entire series in them excepting the top four or so sellers. That's the real reason I pretty much abandoned them years ago. I hate finding what looks like a good series but not being able to get the beginning of it.
Now, Powells in Portand, that is a book store!
