BOOK WORLD is the Real Deal!... Like a Mini-Borders... without the frikkin' Starbucks.

I wonder if there are serious Readers in the area.... then, again, I was Astonished at how many folks paid $30+ to see David Sedaris in Davenport on Thursday....

WELCOME, Book World!  Thanks for giving Clinton a Shot! Their First location in Iowa, too!

I was in BookWorld a few weeks ago.  It is a great book store!  The lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful.  Their selection of books is huge.  I'll go back when I finish the book I'm currently reading.

And here I thought Clinton already had a real bookstore...ABC Bookstore!

Have never been and have no intention of ever visiting that place, Mel.  To even call it a "book store" is somewhat of a stretch.

Book World, however, also gets a "thumbs up" from me.

Awww, c'mon, Barney, don't be such a...dinosaur.  ABC Bookstore is a great bookstore...with benefits!    I'd give it a palms up!

You know, Mel, you've got quite a talent for taking a positive discussion and turning it into garbage.

Mel, guess you and I were just raised differently.  My mamma taught me manners.

Don't know if it counts but she did teach me to say "please" and "thank you".

So please get off my back.  Thank you.

Well, gosh, since you asked so nicely and all. 

(If only you would return the favor when others asked the same of you.)
