Bookstores, whether Borders, Barnes & Noble, or independents, or even the library, were more like friends. They helped me find things I liked, and I spent hours lost in time with them as I skimmed book jacket after book jacket and section after section.
As Jack McKeown suggests in the cover story, with Borders closing 225 stores—in 200+ cities—"Hundreds of markets are potentially without a bookstore for the first time in 40 or 50 years." This an absence greater than I think many of us can truly comprehend. (Though many publishers who relied heavily on Borders for retail sales are aware how significantly they'll be impacted.)
