| 119. Interesting. My town has two and the table of political books is half and half liberal/conservative. |
|
The employees are book lovers and know their stuff like most people who are drawn to work in bookstores. I've never had a problem either finding or ordering the books I want.
I'm not defending the company. I know nothing about their ownership or business practices. Just relaying a very different shopping experience.
|
| -Books-a-Million is selling "Obama Waffles". Time to let them know that you'll be shopping elsewhere. |
