I can't decide if this is genius or the act of dirty enablers: If you order a book from McNally Jackson in SoHo by 3PM and it's in stock, and you happen to live in the neighborhood, they will bring it by on a bike before 5.
Now granted, Barnes and Noble already offers this, and Amazon's trying to, but I bet the McNally J. delivery person is much more charming -- I'm seeing a trailing scarf and one of those baskets with plastic flowers on the front -- and probably won't just stick the door tag on and leave without ringing the bell, FEDEX. Too bad I'm not in the neighborhood!

Oh, it would be wonderful if that was the case. I can see how, over the years, if profit margins for brick-and-mortar bookstores continue to decline, the scarf-wearing and flower-pedaling deliveryman will be replaced by a part-time Baruch College student who in turn will be replaced by a former Chinese food deliveryman.
