    Not closing - turning into a Barnes and Noble.

    My g/f was there yesterday and they said that the book prices were going to go up 10%. As if they weren't expensive enough.

    Are you sure about that? Or was this just a rumor?

    This doesn't make any sense. I would think the "Tech gear" and clothing they sell in the bookstore is very profitable. Why would they quit selling high margin products?

    That's because the current bookstore has so much crap that nobody buys and has been sitting on the shelves for years... They have all kinds of stuff with messed up Tech logos... Just some examples... hard to find since their site has now been shut down...



    OMG ARE THOSE COOZIES???


    Cards... Is the bookstore promoting gambling too??


    They even tried to sell a white shirt with a huge LSU helmet on it for the Tech-LSU game, and you couldn't even tell that it was a Tech shirt...

    I will be very pleased if the B&N bookstore offers less merchandise with better quality and uses these logos...

    Depends. Who did you hear it from?

    Do people still buy books there? Amazon is your friend.

    I suspect that B&N won't carry as much stuff as the bookstore carried, they will carry things that move and won't be happy with items that turn once every five years. The SMU B&N bookstore (on Mockingbird Lane) has a bunch of "SMU" stuff in it.

    They have almost everything there, as far as fan gear, on sale. Just got a polo for my 1 year old for $7. Love me some Tech Book Store.
