Having the same ownership is not "being the same store." The experience was completely different for me. When I went to mall with my wife B. Dalton was like an oasis within the mall. A place to escape from the noisy crowds for a bit. Going to Barnes & Noble was more like something I planned. They were both book stores, but they were completely different. I liked the way B. Dalton (and Waldenbooks) could crowd so many books in a relatively small space.
