I Absolutely Love Bookstores

So, semi-related: attended a baby shower where books were requested instead of cards - what a neat idea!

Needless to say, it gave me yet another reason to visit the bookstore! :-)

I love to visit the ones that have old, used paperbacks, and have lots of nooks and crannies lined with shelves of them. I can spend hours there.

There's nothing like holding a real book in the hands and turning the pages as i devour the contents ..
All the new age kindle and e-book thing is just not my cuppa tea[/c]

I love bookstores and used to love having a Barnes and Noble Superstore just a few minutes away. And then the discovered The Nook and removed about 10% of the books to make room for Nook displays. Then they removed another 10 to 15% to add in toys. Then they did away with various dedicated sections and just jumbled the books together. I used to go in and browse for an hour, now there's next to nothing to browse. :(

@ChipmunkErnie And I just heard that Amazon -- which started out as a bookstore -- shut down the last of its "brick and mortar" bookstores. No more book browsing except online. :(

The downside to a real book is you need light to read at night. Also fighting the center fold is a pain. I much prefer my Kindle.

What an interesting idea, books for mum or the fast arriving child?
