Are Bookstores Just a Waste of Space? 08/26/2024

Are bookstores just a waste of space? Definitely not!

From the article: "I don’t collect books, and I can’t understand why anyone would pay extra for a first edition. I buy books I want to read. I like older and out-of-print books, as long as they’re readable and “like new.” So the key to a good bookstore, for me, is the curation. In this area of life, anyway, size doesn’t matter. I don’t want two hundred thousand titles to choose from. I want the staff to have selected, from the zillions that are out there, the kinds of books that interest me. Ideally, the store will stock a mix of new and used."

What do you like to see in a good bookstore?

(h/t Michael Shallal! Also, note that this may require a New Yorker subscription if you don't have any free articles left)

Are Bookstores Just a Waste of Space? In the online era, brick-and-mortar book retailers have been forced to redefine themselves.
