The local bookstore. Personally I believe B&N is expensive compared to amazon or other online bookstores. That being said, a local bookstore does have its appeal such as coming in for coffee and reading a magazine, people watching, or just being on the computer; has always brought me lots of enjoyment. Nonetheless, the books, right it is a bookstore, I like the kids section where you can sit and read. I love to come here and buy books with my kids, they love this place and most importantly love books. B&N helps me share my love of books with my kids. Thanks B&N.
