I was looking forward to browsing. I love books and have a large collection as I am an avid reader. I selected two books and sat down to read the back and the first page of each so I could decide. The woman working (not sure if owner) leaned over the counter and yelled at me. ‘If you think you are going to sit and read you are mistaken! You can’t open those books! I was astounded,I got up and put them back. Then she yelled that I put the ‘pretty book’ in the wrong place. I told her I put it where I found it. And in alphabetical order. She yelled ‘You did not!!’ Her face was red and angry. I left and won’t return. I love books. She lost a good customer. I would have loved to talk about books. I’m sitting in Barnes and Noble right now. They have been so nice. It’s that or Amazon for me.
