i have come to discover that a. a lot of books arent on kindle.
i have come to discover that a good b & n has a phenomenally vast inventory.
in fact most books i need that are sort of niche are in the b & n in albany ny.
they have more than the so-called independent bookstores. i am now a fan.
i've noticed this with more than one title.
of course the commercialization is off-putting. it's a tad deflating to see american writers on their shelves. it almost devalues the tome.
i guess moving past that it's nice for there to be book stores that have everything.
of course the gas expended to get to one outbalances the shipping cost from amazon (if not on kindle), but it does fulfill the "right now" need/factor well.
