I know a few people who are still here and I hear information from them that the company is getting closer to rock bottom.
This is not at all surprising, it could have been predicted several years ago that a steep decline would follow, leading to a huge loss of market share.

It really is amazing BN is still around in the time of TikTok.
I buy direct from the publisher, mostly Penguin Random House. They have a massive selection and their books never get damaged in transit. Sc--w BN and Amazon. Down with BN.
The delivery of books is getting more and more dynamic and creative. Book club services may very well take over physical book delivery while over the top services like kindle unlimited may take over digital. Barnes and Noble is not keeping up and with independents gaining momentum again why would anyone go into a Barnes and Noble?
