A recent outing to a real life bookstore made me happy and sad -- happy not to be crowded out since this one is on the small side, and sad because they could use the crowds. Which leads me to ponder "how do we keep current and upcoming generations (especially generation YA) from abandoning the bookshops?"
I couldn't stick around to see how many browsers became actual buyers. Me? I picked up a nifty Charles Simic.
