The Stacey's Bookstore location in Cupertino (California) is closing, another casualty of rising rents, dropping sales and vicious competition from chains. This is the last of the truly independent bookstores in the south bay, the next-nearest being in north Palo Alto (almost to Menlo Park) and Kepler's. I've been told that Book's Inc. has re-opened in Mt. View, but the only other I know of is Digital Guru on Lawrence Expressway, and they're just not that great (to put it kindly). I've probably spent upwards of $1600 at Stacey's just by myself, in the 5 years I've lived out here. I've only bought two books for myself from Amazon, and those were esoteric military history titles that hardly anyone stocks on shelves, anyway. I haven't bought a book at Barnes and Noble or Border's in about 3 years (though 2 Christmas' ago I got a gift card from Border's, which I did use). I still won't, even with Stacey's gone. But it will be a lot less convenient to casually browse the latest tech volumes, now. |
