Books-a-Million is a really corny name for a bookstore, sounds like something made up for a movie.

I've never had that experience at B&N. ive been to many here in NYC, LI and one in the DC area, and 9/10 employees were helpful in finding products for me.
I will say, Borders does have more space - they seem to make better use of their space than B&N.
Lastly, does anyone remember Waldenbooks? I liked that store. I also like the Strand - any NYC area folks a fan?
