Barnes & Noble Set To Be Sold To Elliott Management For About $683M 7 years ago
I hope they don't kill B&N. I dropped out of college while pursuing a Physics degree. After which I didn't have much in terms of career prospects. There was a B&N near my apartment and I bought a lot of CS and programming books and went on to get jobs at FAANGish companies. I think I've spent about $30,000 at B&N over a 15 year period. I mostly buy from Amazon now but still go to B&N to be able to quickly physically browse through various categories of books.
