I loved my local little independent bookstore. Owner and employees were knowledgeable and helpful.

But they were small with limited shelf space and many of the books I wanted to read needed to ordered and picked up later.

The world has changed. There are many places to find knowledgeable and helpful people (here...!!) and I can order books online to be immediately delivered to my Kindle or arrived two days later with Prime if only available in paper.

I do feel sorry for those folks whose stores went under with the rise of the big box stores and I feel for those struggling now, but I wouldn't want to go back to the past.
