Barnes and Noble no longer sells books, I guess. Else they was to de-empathize the selling of books? Anyhow the company has replaced the sign on the west facing side of the building. Previously it read "Barnes and Noble, Booksellers". The new sign says "Barnes and Noble". I would assume this is part of the company rebranding as an entertainment retailer, rather than solely a book retailer. Of course, on the occasion I have to walk into the place, it is still wall to wall books
Barnes and Noble were never any good for books anyway. Their remainder sections were cast-offs from other chains that could not sell them. Yes, "entertainment retailer" is what they are going for by catering to a non-literate generation.
