I feel this is a problem

cahnSo I went to Borders Saturday. Did they have thank-you notes, which I was planning to get from the Hallmarks next door? Why yes they did. Ones that were, in fact, nicer, and competitively priced, compared to the Hallmarks.
Did they have A Conspiracy of Kings? Why, no they did not. So, no, I have not read it yet. Grr. (I have a Borders gift card -- best shower gift card present ever!! -- and have promised to use it before buying any more books from other sources, otherwise I would have ordered it from Amazon already, or got the ebook version.)
Okay, on to borders.com. Free shipping over $25, cool. Okay. ...Does it sell Creative Stonesetting, which is the other book I've been meaning to buy? No, it does not.
I thought borders was supposed to be a bookstore?
(So, the answer is no, I haven't read aCoK yet. Though I am dying to, and presumably to talk about it once I have.)

I like Borders stores a lot better than B&N; they seem more... personable? And I do love the coupons. They do tend to be slow in getting in non-best-seller new books, so maybe I'll check back in a month or so.
