Bishop and Phelps proved in 1961 that the set of scalar valued norm attaining bounded linear operators on any Banach space \(X\) is dense in \(X^*\). The author considers here the problem of extending this result to one in which the scalar field is replaced by a more general Banach space \(Y\), showing that if \(Y\) is strictly convex and contains a certain type of basic sequence, then there exists a Banach space \(X\) for which the norm attaining operators from \(X\) to \(Y\) are not dense. A corollary is that no uniformly convex Banach space has Property B of Lindenstrauss.
