CL opened a satellite store in Tyson's Corner VA outside DC which lasted a couple years. Between CL and Reiter's (which still exists in DC), I must have spent several thousands on full price trade, textbook, and reference books. This made sense because I could look closely at each book before buying to see if it merited the investment. I've found that buying online works only if the book is discounted significantly. Too often now I find the online blurb and user opinions lead me to buy a book that I wouldn't have if I'd held it in my hands before parting with $50 or more.
