Yesterday. Got a birthday present (yes, a pbook) for someone.
If I had not been succesfull there in the shop of a regional booksellers chain (38 shops in northern Germany) I would have strolled round the corner to a local independent bookshop that has a good range on show, looked in the same street into the store of a nationwide booksellers chain that is a bit more downmarket or dropped into a sidestreet where some startup indy bookshop just opened up.
So in our small german seaside town of about 50 thousand people and a university of applied science there still is a remarkable choice. - Wonder what will happen in Germany once the Buchpreisbindung goes down the drain someday.
