Finally got out to Barnes & Noble

Got out to Barnes & Noble today after all. I found the magazines I wanted but alas they didn't have the fantasy and science fiction art books I was looking for. They've rearranged the store since I was last there. The current layout seemed a little odd. Either someone has a strange sense of humor or just isn't paying attention. I won't go into specific examples just now. Something else that struck me was the 'Teen Paranormal Fiction' section. I wouldn't have thought that genre was substantial enough to take up three aisles.

Stopped at the local Borders, on the way back from Barnes & Noble, and the place was a madhouse. The checkout line was spiraling through the front of the store and looked to be about 30 people deep. You wouldn't think a mere 20% off store wide would have that many people crowding in in droves but apparently that's all it takes. They didn't have those art books either.
