The biggest flaw of Borders is that their stores don't have a Biographies section.

Jen--

Wow, B.Dalton... you just took me back about 20 years! I spent almost as much time there as a kid as I did in the video arcade next door to it. Almost.

You never know what you're gonna get from store to store with Borders/Barnes & Noble; I think it also clearly depends on who handles the inventory. One store may have a terrific selection of top-tier graphic design books that I'd be willing to go into debt myself for, while another may have a total of three.

Borders, to their credit, also earned some points when they added Seattle's Best coffee. That cold-brewed marble mocha thing of theirs is worth the price of admission.

Thanks! I waiting before seeing a movie at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas and I looked up and it was just a strange but pretty view.

@r_friend, I also like Borders, but Barnes & Noble has bigger (and more) stores, so they have a certain kind of edge. It's a shame--I remember being a little kid and going to B. Dalton and Brentano's.

excellent photo of nowhere.

yes, lovely photo jen!

Nice pic, Jen!

Actually, now that I think about it (and look at all the books on my shelf that I bought at 30% and 40% off from Borders) maybe I'm responsible for their bankruptcy. :-O

I love them both, admittedly, but I actually prefer Borders over Barnes & Noble. Their free Borders Rewards Card has helped me score some serious discounts on some otherwise very expensive books (I'm talking 40% off) -- whereas B&N charges an annual fee for their discount plan, and the savings were always only 10%.
