I was in the local B/N yesterday just to see if my memory of their vinyl section was still true. A clerk pointed out that they have replaced one full wall with vinyl because they are selling vinyl 2:1 over CDs. Not a surprise since everyone who wants a CD probably has it, not so much with vinyl. She also told me they are closing another local B/N due to the rent being increased. The selection is amazing! Get there while you can. My fear is that B/N will follow Borders and disappear in the future. You can't help but think that when you see the level of inventory relative to the customer count. Sad but true.
Records at BN
That Barnes and Noble carries records has been mentioned before here. My several local stores have all have those flimsy cardboard stands set on tables in the main areas of the stores.
But recently I was in a store south of Boston, and in the CD-DVD section, an entire long rack was emptied of DVDs, all replaced with vinyl. Hundreds, maybe thousands of LPs, I'd guess.
Good news for analog folks who still like to browse and buy.
