I love bookstores.  I love wandering in them.  I love scanning titles.  I love the smell of ink and paper.  I love the graphics of gorgeous covers.  I love horses, too.   They’re majestic creatures.  Riding one is fun, but I prefer to go to Vancouver by car.

Times change.  It’s not a value judgment; it’s a fact.

Here is an excellent article by Dave Bricker about the changing publishing world.  He ruminates about the bankruptcy of Borders Bookstores and the future.  Hint: it’s ebooks!
