I miss the days of the smaller bookstores. A mall without a bookstore doesn't feel right to me and to be honest, I would be hard pressed to say that the big Barnes and Noble stores serve me better than the old B. Dalton, Walden Books and Crown Books did.

I will admit, nostalgia may be coloring my memories.
You are right "Hombre" 1967 (with Alan Ladd, "a solitary hero with a conscience"), if I may be so familiar. Dalton, Walden and some others in their day were as satisfying as any giant B&N or BAM are today.

I only go to the BAM in a nearby town to check out and peruse the magazines and the War and Science Fiction books I compete with and sometimes write a bit for as well. Book racks always bring to mind the "old world" that I grew up in, fought for, and sometimes miss too much.
