I have always preferred Border's to 'B. . . the other one.

Howie Carr did an hour a couple of weeks ago on obtaining locally, "Unfit". It turned in to an hour of unpleasant
bookstore stories in general.

The most memorable was a parent and kid ask a clerk "...comic books?". The haughty, annoyed response was "They are
called 'graphic novels', and they are over there."

Don't doubt that at all; but if I had to do a ranking of book stores; would place Borders above B&N as to 'books stocked'; think Borders carries far more titles; that otherwise have to be ordered/requested at B&N; which follows a much tighter prescription - so to speak.

Bottom line; their shelves are more interesting!
