I am so worried that all the book shops in the world are going to close because of Amazon and Kindle, that every time I go into one, I have to buy a book just to make sure I'm at least contributing to their coffers. I can seriously spend entire days in book shops as I just feel so cozy and safe in them AND I still use the library as you can find all sorts of old friends in there that have gone out of print in the shops. And then there's the specialist shops like Taschen that sell all those big beautiful books that you can never face taking home because of their weight. Yesterday in Miami, Taschen had a sale on and all their books were 50% off - now that's a sale I can love - but eeeeek why are they having said sale in the first place?
