What Do You Want from a Bookstore?
A simple post this week, one that relies on your input. I sure hope you'll leave a comment below. Repost and retweet at will.
With all of the talk about Amazon destroying the world, Barnes & Noble's "last stand," and the Borders collapse, many readers have gone searching for independent bookstores to support. If you were to start your own bookstore, as author Ann Patchett recently did, what qualities would you deem essential to its success? Or, even if you just view this hypothetical from a customer's perspective, what do you want from a bookstore?

I've heard once or twice now the idea of independent bookstores going the route of community non-profits, especially with all the author and book based events most of them tend to make. I would go the route of a community bookstore center like this, maybe add a pinch of 826 to liven things up...if I had the know how or resources, that is.
