In the general, more bookstores is great news. More mom and pop stores would be better though.
Yeah, the local bookstores have been thriving in my area, I’m pissed b&n are coming back (in the same shopping center that raised the rent on a local bookstore that relocated to a more affordable part of town)
The local bookstores have been so much better, I hope the rest of the community sticks with them.
I’m sort of happy for any local book stores!! The more the better but yes smaller ones preferred! They have their own unique personalities!
Isn’t the new B&N model to act as a local bookstore would? Obviously, they’re still not, but they focus on letting staff feature books that are popular with that city/market rather than pushing one program nationwide.
