Book Stores aren't holy or precious but they are nice. I am an old guy, and I have spent a lot of time in Book Stores, in News Stands, in book fairs, and book-marts and of course Book Clubs. Nowadays it seems I am trying to cull a few hundred pounds of book each year. I don't know any older people that aren't trying to do the same. I don't want my kids having to go through a lot of junk when I am gone like I had do to when my father and mother passed.
I don't do eBay. Too much trouble. I don't bother trying to sell something less than a few hundred dollars. I just take books and other stuff to the Salvation Army or Good Will, or a local charity, a church or neighbor or a relative. I have a decal to get me into the local county dump. I have done a pretty good job at this point, and and way down in what I am storing.
One day in the not too distant future, I am going to size down into a converted fishing trawler, a storage unit/garage and probably a space or two in a hanger at the airport.
I still buy paper books occasionally at book fairs or even online, and of course I get eBooks where ever and whenever I can.
