Not Even O.J. Can Save Barnes & Noble
"Whatever, I'll just buy it on Amazon for half the price," sigh New Yorkers collectively

Even after abandoning its half-moral stance not to sell If I Did It in bookstores, Barnes & Noble still isn’t doing well.

In April, Barnes & Noble did not renew the lease for its Astor Place location.

Now the chain that put everyone else out of business is closing its branch on 6th avenue and 21st street, which happens to be Jossip’s local B & N. Now where will we go to read the Gossip Girl series for free after work?

First they came for the independent bookstores and I said nothing…

What you fail to mention is that they are also OPENING 2 new stores in Manhattan. B&N is doing just fine.
