Have you seen Barne's and Noble's lately? If they had a coffeeshop, they still sell coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, quite unfortunate. I have this dark fantasy that one day there is a giant EMP that effects the entire world's electronic communications and all of a sudden it dawns on everybody that there is no more written info and it is all electronic and within a couple years it's like Mad Max everywhere...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Love my local library. My bride and I would go on date nights over at Barnes and Noble, we'd browse the books, we'd read books, we'd sit in their coffee shop and sip whatever sounded good while reading favorite passages to one another, or she'd read and I would write ... good memories there ... a pity our local library doesn't have coffee ...

Sedalia Dave Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For many years my retirement goal was to open a used book store. I am afraid that by the time I retire, book stores will be extinct and printed books will be valuable antiques out of my price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
