LAREDO, Texas ? The final chapter has been written for the lone
bookstore on the streets of Laredo.

With a population of nearly a quarter-million people, this city could
soon be the largest in the nation without a single bookseller.

The situation is so grim that schoolchildren have pleaded for a
reprieve from next month's planned shutdown of the B. Dalton
bookstore. After that, the nearest store will be 150 miles away in San
Antonio.


Hey...it's Texas...what do you expect?

Damned straight. If it isn't Huntingtown, MD or Halifax we don't like
it, do we buddy?
