It was such a wonderful place and will be truly missed. I do not, and will not, own and electronic reader for the very reasons you just stated in this wonderful post. It makes me sick to think that our little grandbabies may never know the joy of wandering through an independant book store and feeling that joy of finding a treasure!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016439610436864684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347562529362171426.post-10733355511898936302013-02-03T20:54:32.102-08:002013-02-03T20:54:32.102-08:00Isn't it amazing how our world is changing so ...Isn't it amazing how our world is changing so rapidly. Book stores no longer available. I know some of the reason is Amazon and electronic readers but wonder just how much too, is due to people not reading like we used to. Every time I would go visit my dad he would as what book I was reading- it was just a given that reading was a part of our lives.<br /><br />Reading Augustine's, On The Two Cities(Selections from The City of God) right now- very interesting as it was written due to the overthrow of Rome- so parallel's our thought as a people today.<br /><br />Consider yourself hugged friend!<br /><br />bee blessed<br />mary<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347562529362171426.post-84337143464974505132013-02-03T19:04:52.856-08:002013-02-03T19:04:52.856-08:00It's very sad isn't it?

That looks like a lovely one, so it's a shame that it had to close. We've bought a lot of books over the years, but have had to whittle down our inventory because of space limitations now. The only bookstore I know in our city is a used book store. We try to go a couple of times a year to it, but it doesn't have much character.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347562529362171426.post-31755201865653563772013-02-02T15:02:48.781-08:002013-02-02T15:02:48.781-08:00I get sad each time a bookstore closes.

The old wood floor made a scrunch noise as you walked, it smelled of strong coffee and I always found a book I simply couldn't resist! I must confess, I am a shopper of Amazon and download books and have an account with Good Reads online. But nothing can compare to a bookstore!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871445174509081095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347562529362171426.post-14240770899200443902013-01-31T19:11:41.288-08:002013-01-31T19:11:41.288-08:00I confess I use an e-reader Adrienne but will miss...I confess I use an e-reader Adrienne but will miss the book stores that we've lost.

Am glad he didn't live longer than the store. My favorite used book store in Spokane closed too. I almost cried when I found out. If people like electronic books, OK but I want one in my hand where I can turn the pages.

One of our favorite hangouts used to be the big Borders store a mile from our house. We would go and get coffee, and peruse the magazines and books, and almost never walked out empty handed. It's gone now, as are most of the small book stores. I just heard the other day that the first book free librarty opened. You go in and get e-books.
