Stores such as Waterstones or Borders will be priced out of the market, which is a tragedy. I love browsing book shelves, and it is not the same online.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.elliegarratt.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ellie Garratt</a>Ellie Garratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731071128348213067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248193231958936629.post-68406751329730837232011-07-08T07:48:50.976+10:002011-07-08T07:48:50.976+10:00Man, I hate that bookstores are going away though ...Man, I hate that bookstores are going away though B&N seems to be doing just fine, thank goodness.

As it is though, they're just ridiculously overinflated (just like everything else, at least here in Western Australia).

It was all I could dream of. They had good prices, several discounts and a Starbucks point. Then, one by one they started to close down. It was heartbreaking, since I didn't like (and still don't) the book stores left. I now go to Waterstone's but it's not the same. Anyway, although I enjoy buying from the internet due to the huge discounts, I find walking into a bookstore and coming out with a bag priceless.Dark Frannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145688121780858323noreply@blogger.com
