I frequent both Borders (more comfortable chairs in the coffee shop) and
Barnes and Noble (the one on the Plaza closest to my hoome) and must say I
feel blessed in that both offer outstanding photo book selections. Better
than any I've seen anywhere else. Maybe these 2 stores are unique. If so,
I'm lucky!

: Nope, Ernie, it's obviously corporate not local. Same thing with Borders -
: I, too, have noticed that they have a much better photo selection than
B&N.
: Oddly enough, my local independent bookstore, Brookline Booksmith, has a
: really terrific photo section - always adding new books, many of which are
: far from the main stream.
