Because I don't already own dozens of tomes I've not yet read, they had to go and build this heavenly cash drain just a hop-skip-and-a-jump from my house. November 7 can't get here fast enough!

This is one of the advantages of an independent bookstore. The chains tend to order in bulk -- they'll do individual book orders, of course -- but in terms of what's regularly on the shelves, it's much harder for a chain to shift directions than it is for an independent, no matter how large it is.

Legacy was still stacking its shelves, preparing for its soft opening when we visited, but an early glance looks promising. There is a beautiful separate room full of art and architecture books, a very large children's area, a mezzanine devoted to genre fiction. Near and dear to our heart: in addition to the usual best sellers and staff picks, they also display books discussed on NPR/KERA shows such as Fresh Air and Think. Still, though, that's just an early look. I'll be interested to hear what you - and others -think when the store is fully stocked. Hey Bill,
