Riiigghhttt! No golden parachutes for that crowd?

Spin me a new one, NYT...
If B&N does fold, it certainly will be detrimental to the publishing industry. Have we seen Borders' $3 billion in sales appear anywhere yet?

If B&N closes, the only B&M retailing options I'd have would be grocery stores, Kmart and Target. They only have the NYT Bestsellers and some romances. And I don't live in a rural area.

While it may not be grocery cart territory it's not many levels from such.
