Whither Barnes & Noble?
I took a drive to the large Barnes & Noble in Clifton today, because there were a couple of books I wanted to pick up. I figured the smaller Barnes & Noble in Hoboken wouldn't have them. Much to my surprise, neither did the large one. At least I think they didn't. It was very difficult to find books there. Sure, they were nicely categorized by genre. But by author? Not so much. Things were totally out of place. And not just within a given letter. There were Cs in the Bs. Ws in the Ts. Other than having gotten my car out for a spin, I feel like I wasted a trip.
So I got home, logged onto the PC, and ordered them from Amazon instead.
Comments
Just wanted to know, I tried to post several really clever remarks in some of your FAQ posts. They were really good too. You'd have laughed for days. Maybe they would have changed your life. But none of them would let me post my comments. As if there was some kind of expiration date on wit. Like, oh that would have been funny YESTERDAY but today we are not amused. And now, here I see you have impugned the reputation of the Hoboken Barnes and Noble. I just don't feel like I know you anymore.

Sadly, due to the proliferation of comment spammers, comments are automatically shut down on posts older than 21 days. For some reason, comment spammers seem to really like spamming old posts. They virtually never attempt to spam anything recent.

Oh. Well, that's very different. Never mind.

I buy everything I cant find in stores online. Thats how I buy all my records, and there is no way any of that would ever find its way into FYE or B&N. I go to those stores after finding everything off their website. Computers rule.
