Sad, but gotta make every dollar stretch.<br /><br />I also go to used and smaller independent books stores....no price shopping there.

Now there are no nearby strictly bookstores and the way they've been closing it doesn't surprise me that so many are continuing to close. Amazon is so much easier and has a far greater selection than any bookstore. <br /><br />Lee <br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blog<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208849527292516590.post-85449789659441257342013-02-01T22:43:28.846-08:002013-02-01T22:43:28.846-08:00I had my books in B&N for a while as I had an ...I had my books in B&N for a while as I had an account with them a couple years ago. They were god to me and snobbish at the same time. Sorry to see any brick and morter store go, although almost all of my purchases are now ebooks.<br /><br />I saw Borders go into bankruptcy and was sad as I did numerous book signings with them. Its a bitter sweet memory as I am glad self published authors can now do their own thing and be successfule.<br /><br />Hope this helps.
