I think I've come full circle - in my earliest days I got books at the library and the occasional paperback at the drug store when my allowance gave me enough change. They had a rack with classics, oddly enough, and we had no bookstore in town. Later, I loved bookstores and sought them out. Eventually when Amazon.com came along, I bought them there. Now I'm mostly back to book stores. I adore used bookstores especially and always have. Some places I've lived have had excellent ones. We had a used bookstore in Astoria that I really liked and it had a good art section, but the people retired. Lately I haven't had so much time to look. Portland has one of the biggest used bookstores in the world. The question is, when do I find the time to read anything on paper any more? Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Cheers, Ming!
