Yes, we are spoiled, aren't we? Here in D.C. metro area, one of the highest percentages of buyers of books, including hardback books, and yet Crown went into receivership. I live much closer to a Crown, in fact I drive right past it to get to the Border's where I spend a small fortune every year.<g> Love that chai!
