Books aren’t dead ☠️!! 😁
BOOKS ARE DEAD.
NOBODY READS ANYMORE.
WE’RE ALL STARING AT OUR PHONES.
That’s what I keep hearing. So why is it that Barnes & Noble is opening 60 new stores this year (in Ohio, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Colorado, Washington state, California, Virginia, Georgia and D.C.)? How come 500 indie bookstores opened in the last year, and now there are 3 times the number of indies there were 10 years ago?
