Good coffee, a little Lincoln Brewster rocking in the background, good prices, and (no offense to the Baptist Church) some cool books, music, and gifts (affordable) that you don't find at EVERY freakin' Christian bookstore on the planet! I avoid those places like the plague!!! Someone needs to open a really cool Christian bookstore – someone with, say, an earring, a couple of tattoos, and maybe a little fuzz on his face!

Of course you always have to figure in shipping with CBD. I do some shopping at Mardel's, but that is primarily because they have a good bargain section. Sometimes I have gotten a 50 dollar bible for 10 bucks for instance. I think sometimes people prefer to buy a book after they have it in their hands, and feel it, smell it, and in my case even pet it a little bit. But for the most part, I tell myself that too. And then by the time I get home I convince myself I do not need it. Except for those moments when my "recreation/entertainment is to go to a bookstore for a couple hours, have a cup of coffee, and come out wiht something interesting. At that point, I am paying as much for the experience. I agree with you about comparing everything to Amazon and CBD. Of course you always have to figure in shipping with CBD.
