We didn't have a local book store. We had Border's, Barnes and Noble, and a couple of used book shops. I frequented used book shops for the majority of my childhood and teenaged years. Then they all closed and it was just The Big B's. And then Border's went and it was just Barnes and Noble. I'm not convinced that this was all Amazon's fault. I'm actually inclined to believe that Border's and B&N both forced out the book stores and then got their crap pushed in by Amazon.
