Gone is the big newsstand that quaintly graced the alleyway to the parking lot across from Pierre Lafond’s State Street eatery. In its place we have a couple big-store book dealers, and most notably Borders, which stocks everything from gossip rags to academic journals. It’s a lot harder to find the Village Voice, or the Sacramento Bee for that matter, than it used to be. But Borders compensates with a sunny browsing area free from nagging clerks and packed with a rich parade of the printed word.
