A Bookstore

OK, Now back to US comparisons:

Barnes and Noble. A large chain of large bookstores nationwide here in the US, based out of NYC.

This one is in Pittsford Plaza, a large Mall, but laid out length-wise; a Mall but not in one building as in Pankrac Arkady or Flora. It stretches store to store, one end to the other. They call these types a "strip Mall".

This bookstore store is huge. 50,000 square feet ( 4,645 sq m ) It covers two floors has thousands of books and gift items. It does have a "cafe" but I use that term 'loosely'. Store policy allows you to find a comfy chair, and there are many through out the store, and sit and read to your hearts content, for as long as you like, without even buying the book. Certainly effects the profit margin I would like, but it makes it a "friendly" store.

I had forgotten how big this store was until I visited it the other day.

Much bigger than Luxor on vaclavske namesti...

but, yes, American BIG!
