      <![CDATA[Big mega bookstores like B&N, Borders, Chapters etc. are really only good for killing some time while you're waiting to meet someone and want to flip through a magazine. <br />
<br />
And they're a lifesaver if you need a public washroom.<br />
<br />
Other than that, fuck 'em. Shop independent.

      <![CDATA[@11: I would write a long screed about why you should support your local, independently owned bookstores and other retail establishments, but I have to get back work. Next time?<br />
<br />
However, I will second what Michael Wells says above: any independent worth their salt should be able to order books for you and have them within a few days. Elliott Bay, Bailey-Coy, U Books, Third Place Books, just to name a few...<br />
<br />
As far as saving $$$, there is no shortage of used bookstores in this town.

      <![CDATA[I would love to shop at small independent book stores if they actually carried anything in stock without having to order it and waiting a few weeks.  So this sucks.<br />
<br />
And someplace cheaper than B & N?  Really?  I have my membership card with them, which pays for itself easily in a year, and have not found cheaper prices anywhere in Seattle.  Elliott is okay but too expensive.
