How can future used books exist if new book sales diminish?
I was shocked yesterday walking around Brookline on Harvard Street to
see Barnes and Nobles gone. If there was one town around Boston where
you would think a bookstore would be supported, it would be Brookline.

Dave,
I'm from Brookline. I was there in the summer. the Booksmith is still there near Coolidge Corner on Harvard which is probably a better location. Not only that it now has a decent selection of used pbs. There is still a used bookstore opposite the St Mary's green car stop on Beacon. If you want to see a huge decline in book stores go to Harvard Square. There used to be many bookstores there. Last time I was there I think there were only only two.
A book seller in Chicago I knew told me the internet had hurt him because people who wanted to sell books no longer went to him with used books but went to the net.
