People get the bookstores they deserve. A town near me has a wonderful bookstore of the old type, esoteric titles, staff recommendations, etc. And I know it’s because the people there don’t go home and order online. |
EXACTLY. People complaining about stupid stuff like the fact they sell some things other than books. Yet the people complaining don't even buy books there or get it off Amazon for $1 cheaper...lol. My BN is a nice place. I appreciate the fact that they have a ton of books and than other stuff I can buy. Especially around Christmas. Bought my niece a Lego set there a couple years ago have bought puzzles and game also. Did a lot of Xmas shopping there.
