It’s a result of the passion communicated in the article I looked at. And on this post Once upon a midnight dreary – BookEnds – Connecticut News. I was excited enough to post a leave a responsea response ;) I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay. Could it be simply me or do a few of these comments appear as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online social sites, I’d like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you list every one of all your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

It was too valuable a place for that. What is Stamford anyway? Does it call itself a city because of UBS and RBS? Barnes and Noble in the mall is very unwieldy, and who wants to go to a mall to browse a book store anyway. I don’t and I want this city to step up and do something about recruiting another suitable tenant for the old Borders space. We need to form a committee…or something. Books a Million went right into the former Borders space in South Portland, Me. So Maine can do it and we can’t?

I always wondered whether the model of offering coffee and a chance to sit idly for hours pursuing books and magazines would work. Unfortunately we are now seeing for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for Borders.

While this generation has more access to information than any in history I hope that its capacity to enjoy the pleasures of touching a page, feeling the print, scribbling in the margins and watching the dog eared pages age and fade (as all things must) isnt lost.

I was in New York City, and he approached me with a well-loved and quite tattered copy of Tantalize. He said it was the first book he’d ever finished. “The first book?” I asked, and he nodded solemnly. “The first book ever,” he emphasized. “All the way through.”
