I now live .2 miles away from a Barnes and Noble and have yet to step inside. Nothing against it, I just don't really have the desire. Yet, I will drive downtown to German Village, endure parallel parking on a cobblestone street and walk to the Book Loft. The difference? Buying local! I like the idea of someone taking their passion and making their dream come true in their own little store rather than a bigbox company moving in to town. But sometimes, it is just plain convenient to get something online. Sometimes I am just in the mood to buy something with a few clicks! Here is a website that merges both ideals. Not only do they have local bookstores, but hardware, clothing, toys, etc.http://www.indiebound.org/
