They are so wonderful and I would rather shop at a store like that with a smaller inventory and knowledgable staff than the bigger stores where sometimes I wonder if the clerks read.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387313238448432017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-8161310867640894872009-02-02T15:15:00.000-05:002009-02-02T15:15:00.000-05:00I usually go in looking for something specific and...I usually go in looking for something specific and if they don't have it, I buy something else.

I'd probably do more browsing at an independant store, but I do that online now. Then I have my list. I buy books online also from Amazon and a few from Alibris. But I'm going to be using my library alot more this year, thanks to the downturn of the economy and the non-existant new home building, which is my line of work. So I'll be borrowing alot more this year.Lisa (Southern Girl Reads)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03749744167773202007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-47023351133701239112009-02-02T11:59:00.000-05:002009-02-02T11:59:00.000-05:00I love my independent bookstore and brad is very k...I love my independent bookstore and brad is very knowledgeable.
