On a sad note, the Borders bookstore, here in town, is closing it’s doors. Special thanks to having CEO’s that have never worked in publishing and whose business plan was to raise prices instead of changing there business model.
Anywho, with the store closing everything is being liquidated. Seems like every couple of days a room the aisles to see if I can find anything interesting. Low and behold, yesterday I did find something interesting. I was actually looking for a copy of The Quran and came across the shelf with an interesting mix of books.
First, I’m not too sure how Dr. Laura would feel about her books being grouped with an every-so-friendly Penthouse publication. How ironic that you would find a large collection of smut next to a book called “10 Stupid Things Couples do to Mess Up Their Relationships” Call me naive and old fashioned, but I think the first stupid thing would be for a knucklehead spouse to pick up the purple book. And I could go on and on……
I know that books get moved around a bookstore, but you have to admit, this is a classic case of the the fox being in the hen house.
Borders will be missed. It was nice to have a bookstore with an extensive collection.
