I had an interesting sensation walking through Barnes & Noble...relaxation... Something about the smell of rows of books stacked around me. Then I thought, this can be kind of ironic in the sense that these books are essentially trees. They are made from trees, albeit dead at this point. But back to the point, surrounded by nature with fresh mountain grown coffee beans in the store next door. You even have some of inhabitants of this nature preserve that you can point and stare at.
It's no wonder coffee shops and book stores mesh so well together.
