What? Stop Buying Books? Never!

This is why we go to a physical Barnes and Noble. Even though I can get all of the same books at Amazon (and many more), you can't get the feel of long shelves of books, the implicit demand for quiet that books bring to the fore, the kids books/play area, bargain bin books, or legal stimulants and tasty treats. We like to encourage the survival of physical books and the places that sell them. Tattered Cover is the local bookstore of choice here in Denver, but the Barnes and Noble is still a place of happiness. One of the sadder moments in the development of our neighborhood was when the Borders at Northfields closed. They replaced it with a Toby Keith's restaurant.

Sigh. Everyone knows that Jim and Nick's BBQ is way better.

I promptly bought more books, of the physical kind. :)
