A great disappointment to many in this neighborhood. In fact, out here in the suburbs we have <b>few</b> of the chain bookstores remaining. Those of us who still buy hard copies of books are restricted to using <i>Amazon</i> if the chain stores don&#39;t carry what we want.<br /><br />There are still some independent bookstores in D.C. and Baltimore. But the parking situation in those cities is impossible.<br /><br />Go west -- toward the Shenandoah Valley, for example -- and there are independent book stores aplenty.

Let alone out of print and non Region 1 titles.<br /><br />I&#39;m fortunate that independent book stores are still hanging on in various locations around Boston, both new and used. I do enjoy browsing books which is quite unlike looking for a DVD or CD.<br /><br />Music has changed but a lot of people prefer to purchase by song rather than by full CD.<br /><br /><br /><br />Duckys herehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-82982815298838914032014-03-20T02:28:09.959-05:002014-03-20T02:28:09.959-05:00I think the internet killed these stores.

Now, of course, he&#39;s out of a job.<br /><br />I remember all the wonderful times that I had during my teens and into adulthood --when I browsed through albums and, later CD&#39;s. Made some pretty good finds, too.Always On Watchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.com
