Bookstores are DOOMED...DOOOOOOMED i tell ya.

"The old-fashioned bookstore was a charming place, but charm alone will not solve the problem of modern book distribution. . . . Hard though it may be to face the fact, the bookstore of today cannot primarily be a place for those who revere books as things-in-themselves." - R.L. Duffus, Carnegie Report, 1930 as quoted in Reluctant Capitalists, Laura Mller.
