Begin the year with Bankruptcy:
Students at the University of Ottawa have set up their own campus bookstore in direct competition to the University’s with the express goal of putting them out of business. Anyone who has attended a major university in the last decade knows this is an action long overdue. My own Johns Hopkins University did business through a Barnes and Noble-owned store which held students effectively in indentured servitude. You needed books, the store charged outragous prices and most of the neighborhood shops didn’t stock political treatises of ancient Sumerians or Developmental Biology texts. And this was before Amazon.
Bravo Ottawa.
