2. Support your local used bookstore!

I adore mine! I also get books on Amazon & eBay. I never pay retail for books. I'm a poor graduate student!

4. Being from Ann Arbor, Borders was my local bookstore. Then they turned into a big box chain.

3. Sad.

If I thought it would lead to a rise in independent bookstores I wouldn't mind, but it won't...Barnes and Noble or Amazon, drat.
