WTF?? Greedy bastards. I don't understand this at all. Hawley-Cooke is like the best book store in the country-Borders is like the Wal-mart of bookstores.

Damn it! What's next, Ear-Xtacy?? >:(

As a former hawley-cooke bookseller, I say I hate to see them go. We've got to support the independents. That's why I've got to buy my copy of It Still Moves at Ear X-tacy, rather than order online, despite the enticing promotional offers.

Those sons-of-bitches! I hope there are some massive protests followed by a book-buying party at Carmichael's.
I wish I was in town for it.

Plan it now! Maybe the Jacket will play.
