Now, I do not enjoy browsing bookstores, even when I find them. The last time I was in a Barnes and Noble and a Books A Million they seemed more like a toy store to me. Science Fiction/Fantasy has been shrunk down to five book cases and even General Fiction has fewer rows of bookcases. To me it is sad that you walk into a 26,000 square foot book store and maybe 35% is actually books.

In my local Barnes and Noble you used to be able to sit and read. They had a dozen chairs. Now they have taken all the chairs out except 2.
