I am making a prediction about the unknowable, unprestateable future.
Jochen will be able to visit our wonderful bookstores before the end of

TX? I've been there

Independent and Used bookstores definitely took a hit, first from the
Big Boxes like Hastings and Barnes and Noble and then a double-whammy
from Amazon. I don't know how many more went down because of
COVID... We have a very serious local collection of used/independent

Unless people abandon physical books, which I doubt, there should at

Powell gave me work cleaning up another property he owned.
Their current location was long notable for the regularly scheduled reek of
the Blitz-Weinhard brewery located on the block to the west, but it's since
been gentrified.

They might. But I'm spending a good portion of my income at the local ones. If
you're visiting book stores, you must visit this one. A whole city block,
multiple floors:

Do you think bookstores may die out? They have become rare here in Europe. In
