Reply to comment by [deleted] in Have books gotten more expensive? by syncomatic_columbia

Huh? Their prices are on par with Amazon or Walmart.

What a weird call out. We should be happy to still have a major book retail chain in this country at all. Book spaces matter.

But what you’re saying is empirically untrue. They are not one of the most expensive places to buy books. They are on par with other sellers, and cheaper with discounts.

Maybe you’re thinking of a thrift store or eBay, but you can’t compare places that sell new books with ones that sell used books. It’s a completely separate market place.
