I do think that more independent bookstores and used bookstores have got to be a positive spin off. But doesn't it feel awfully 1984ish?! I feel like a prole so often now, trawling through junk shops and used bookstores when most people are downloading books from itunes. (Thinking about your post about being in love with a book.... what a contrast!) The Barnes and Noble here is always busy but apparently we're there because it's a nice atmosphere and there's a Starbucks..... Restonians buy their books from Amazon or download them.

I, too, mourn the demise of so many bookstores. Perhaps the small locally owned bookstore will re-emerge some day. I certainly hope so. They're such fun to wander around in.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.com
