Computer books

[James Knott]

I guess Heather Reisman has done her damage there too.  A while ago, she 
announced her intention to move her stores away from books, into gifts 
etc.  So much for having decent book stores, especially since Chapter 
etc., destroyed that computer book store chain that used to be in this 
area.  Why don't you want to go to a university book store?  They do 
sell to the public.  And as I mentioned, you can order directly from 
some publishers.

It's amazing how one person can do so much damage to an industry.
