I also laugh that the new age section is right in front of the science section,and i also roll my eyes anytime anyone asks for, "The Secret", however it is due to spacing issues as the store is smaller than most Barnes and Nobles. We do not pick and choose where books are shelved, it is actually a collaborative effort between the publishers and the corporate headquarters. Also, when you move books from where we are told to shelve them, you create more work for the poor booksellers that have to go back and fix what you decided to put in the wrong place. Is it really right to make some poor bookseller that makes min. wage do this work (instead suggesting to customers real science books)? If you really are interested in making a difference in how our society differentiates between real science and psuedo science, I suggest that you talk to the publishers or the corporate office for Barnes and Noble and not punish the booksellers that are there to help you find books and keep the store tidy. Actually, you doing that is quite rude and ineffectual.velocitygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17354430810629628811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293215880741327130.post-41875843705034870412007-08-13T11:11:00.000-07:002007-08-13T11:11:00.000-07:00Too much free time on your hands I see...Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08869650486344035603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293215880741327130.post-46937575948006509442007-08-12T07:21:00.000-07:002007-08-12T07:21:00.000-07:003 more bookstores rearranged correctly.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow we start with the libraries.

Much like a labbook or cookbook. It's where the wizard or magician would write his formulas, notes, musings, and similar. It may includes thoughts on magical theory, the magical properties of items, words, and gestures, and thoughts on the work of other wizards etc.<BR/><BR/>Real world grimoires tend to be disorganized, confused, and idiosyncratic. Usually full of jargon, anacronyms, puns, anacrostics, obscure references, notes on experiments, and stray reminders to pick something up while shopping. In this they greatly resemble the lab notes of today.mythusmagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10458869083534878283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293215880741327130.post-9116188493272574932007-07-21T15:57:00.000-07:002007-07-21T15:57:00.000-07:00Hahaha! perfect.Stehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10282174275661280119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293215880741327130.post-9206879307619115772007-07-21T15:46:00.000-07:002007-07-21T15:46:00.000-07:00A grimoire is a book describing magical beliefs and practices.<BR/>So in Harry Potter's world, it might describe a textbook - but in this world it describes a delusion.llewellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001213921499191213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293215880741327130.post-40035619118505998842007-07-21T13:43:00.000-07:002007-07-21T13:43:00.000-07:00Join us.<BR/><BR/>Tell us of a successful mission.
