With all the talk about Borders and Angus & Robertson going into receivership it has made me think about local bookstores.
Wouldn't it be a shame if all the bookstores disappeared. It's one thing to buy a book online but it is also a lot of fun sifting through shelves and discovering books you weren't aware of. There is plenty of space for e-books, internet shopping and local shops. I love Bookoccino in Avalon (www.bookoccino.com). It has a fantastic cafe, wonderful books and really friendly staff.

I'll miss them, too, but I think you'd better prepare yourself. I read more now than I ever have but it's all on my Kindle.
