I owned a tiny bookstore in the 90’s before Amazon and Barnes and Noble came to town, both contributed to my downfall just short of 10 years, oh well. But I have to say that it does my heart good to know that Amazon’s brick and mortar crashed!

retiring and opening a little bookstore was my dream for many, many years. when I was in Aspen in 1965, I was having a terrible time and then stumbled into a store called "Quadrant Books and Gallery" owned by a Boston Jew named Ivan Abrams. being him seemed like paradise, and for years after, people would come back from Aspen vacations telling me that Ivan sent regards. and THAT'S where my bookstore fantasy started.
god knows I have enough books and CDs here to open a store and then some. the choice, however, is...uhh...idiosyncratic.
And I also have enough books, CD’s, etc. to open another one, just because I don’t want to again, that didn’t prevent me from buying more lol, but I do try to use the library, at least occasionally!
