One thing I hate is that the stores that have survived are all The Worst Ones. Instead of Borders surviving, it was Barnes & Noble. They finance their operation on the financial backs of the writers whose books they carry - they order too many, then send them back as "returns for credit" to finance the next books they order - and that "return for credit" is charged against the author's royalties! They were supposedly doing a 'cooperative release" on one of my books. I went to the local outlet and let them know who I was and what the book was, and offered to do a signing, and they said "sure - give us the email of all your friends and we'll invite them here for your signing." Personally I wish B&N would disappear.
