I remember she fired one of my co-workers the morning he came back to work after burying his partner, and there were probably other terrible things I didn't know about.<br /><br />Deb, I don't understand why libraries, especially in a system like the Minuteman, aren't trying to 'keep' the last copy of a book. I know some weeding decisions are based on circulation but still. I think you should go talk to my acquaintance Cynthia.<br /><br />Re B&N, why is it that landlords would rather have an empty storefront than increase their rent moderately? Although I think I already read there is a tenant read to take over that B&N.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-47707918092949920772010-09-02T22:10:55.371-04:002010-09-02T22:10:55.371-04:00Haven't been in Lincoln Center since 1965, but...Haven't been in Lincoln Center since 1965, but I'm always sad when a bookstore closes..........Our Borders closed recently, due to B&N I think, and I was very sad........It was the first "big" book store here and I spent a lot of time there. But they caused a lot of little independent stores to fold, and the internet has changed everything.....Still, I love going into bookstores and browsing the real thing!<br /><br />I'm sure you're not the only one.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-4698289218210368082010-09-01T23:16:24.419-04:002010-09-01T23:16:24.419-04:00No, I guess you are not the only one up late, and ...No, I guess you are not the only one up late, and as for worrying about books, I found out yesterday that the Lexington Library discarded "My Friend Cousin Emmie." Ever since, I've had a nagging bit of anxiety that comes to the fore whenever my mind is not otherwise occupied. It was an original with the great cover art too. I wish I had stolen it when I had the chance.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-22952243588065498172010-09-01T09:27:09.714-04:002010-09-01T09:27:09.714-04:00That is so cool that you had a worst enemy.
It is...That is so cool that you had a worst enemy.<br /><br />It is startling to me that Manhattan cannot buy enough to support their Barnes and Noble stores. I was sorry to hear about Astor Place and Chelsea closing--I remember going to meet Jeffrey Steingarten, probably my favorite food writer, at the Astor Place store--and this one was such a nice part of the Lincoln Center area. It's true the store at 82nd isn't very far away, and it's a nice one.LaurieA-Bhttp://sixboxesofbooks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
