Are chain bookstores (particularly superstores) evil?

Yes, if you live in an area which had several large, well-stocked independent bookstores that went out of business when a chain opened a megastore there. No, if you live in an area that had no bookstores (or only a mall bookstore) before the chain opened a megastore there. Which is a fancy way of saying your mileage may vary, and this topic is unlikely to be resolved by discussion here. [Provided by Evelyn Leeper [eleeper@optonline.net].
