The French are rightly proud of their language and identity.

And those "Free Book Fairs" - gosh, I wish we had that attitude, frankly.
More power to them for it.
i agree. i don't think it's about being unwilling to head into the 21st century (besides the other obvious insinuation there) :P *sigh* i don't want bookstores to go away! i do my part and buy when i step into a bookstore i would state my other thoughts as well but i might get flamed for it *hides*
