Thank you! I don't go very often to BN, but I could have sworn that there were less chairs there last time I went. I make a point of taking my kids there every so often. I give them some money to find something they want. We go there or the comic book store. I miss my weekly comic trip. Its the only places left around here.
We used to have a good used book store, but the owner decided he wanted to sell coffee, then couldn't figure out why he went out of business. Once he switched to a coffee with a few books thrown, it chased off a those that spent more than a cup of coffee. I would guess he only carried about 10-20% of the books that he used to. The books he put out were the expensive books, not the cheap paperbacks I used to get.
