So yeah, been lurking in my local Border's bookstore looking to see how high the discounts are going to be. Some sections have gone up to 40% off, but with the books priced at 15-25 bucks, they still are not worth it. I went to the science section and saw this big meaty book about the making of the atomic bomb, it was priced at $21 but Border's put a 25% discount on all science books. I thought, ok if it gets up to 40% off, I might just go for it, I don't think I will be able to get it cheaper.
WRONG! http://www.amazon.com/Making-Atomic-...2872004&sr=8-1
45% off if I just get it online. Like $5 if I am ok with a used copy. Now I know why bookstores are going out of business, and I feel no regret or sympathy with those who lament their extinction. Prove me wrong.
