How is it like Borders? It's a warren of different rooms on different floors, half of which are more like a warehouse than a retail store, with a huge selection of used and new books shelved together.

I loved the separate technical books stores, too, although they still have a great tech section in the main location. I assume the standalone PTBs shrank then closed because people were browsing more than buying.

Should’ve charged a modest fee for the periodic hits of serendipity.


Considering the rent changes around there over the last 5 years, it'd be less "modest" and more "how much ya got"
