We'll Never Have Bookstores

I didn't want to write an opinion essay, the whole letters to the press kind of thing, but now I feel compelled to put down a least a few sentences about it. Like polar ice caps, independent bookstores are receding into extinction. In my own business self interest to sell my zine, I've phone independent bookstores from around the country. In San Francisco, in Eugene, in Kansas City, in Burlington. Phone numbers are disconnected. It feels like a hurricane quietly swept through the nation.

Support independent book stores. If you don't want to pay full price for books, go to the library and support those. Window shopping somewhere cool and then buying your book online at Amazon is not cool. There's a facebook group called Support your local bookstores Here is the link: Support your local Bookstores
