[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope they will open the traditional stores again. I hate the new minimal design like the one in Rockville because it is soulless like the now-defunct Amazon books.

I spread buying between indy stores, Amazon, and B&N. $ at indy stores helps local economies and authors. Amazon helps more authors because I can buy more books. B&N is important because they carry (or used to) so many specialty books that have trouble getting traction online because you have no way of knowing about them.

IMO they all have different values.  [/quote]

I would be lying if I said I didn't give Amazon tons of my money, but I try not to when it comes to books.

You can go to indiebound.org and find an independent bookstore near you to order it from. Or if you don't mind a used book, you can search World of Books for a carbon neutral purchasing experience.

You can even buy e-books through your local bookstore.

I think B&N also has a place because it can afford to stock more books than your average indie store. They can provide a fun place for the whole family to visit, like Target but for books, lol.[/quote]
