    Borders Books and Barnes & Noble hadn’t been invented yet, Charlie Brown.

    I can remember when you had to sit on the floor at a book store to read a book. Probably made the running the book store crazy that folks actually dared read the books before buying them. Can even remember going to Barnes & Noble without them having seats yet.

    I remember when people didn’t page through a magazine before buying it. You were expected to pay for it first. My first bookstore where people stood around and read, and no one said anything, was a Waldenbooks store, in the 1970s. Even then, they didn’t have seats. At that time in that place, if you wanted to read for free, you got a library card.

    Benches? Why not have the druggist put in a Starbucks so you can read comics AND overpay for coffee? Times have indeed changed.

    This must be back when comic books were 10 cents a piece.

    The gang is surely making a mess. Hopefully they will clean it up.

    Notice two United Features properties – Tip Top and Nancy – among the comic books?

    The one above “Tip Top” is “Pow.” Egad, I remember this one in the paper when I was a kid.

    This is what my brother and I did when we went with our folks to the supermarket.

    I tried to read the comic books at the corner drug store &the owner would tell me, “This is NOT a library, it is a drug store” “You can read the book after you buy it”!

    I personally like what one Brady Bunch newsstand operator said to Greg, who was thinking of buying the auto magazine:“To read or to buy costs the same price!”

    Doubleday Bookstore didn’t have benches in the seventies, either.
