I think I would like the bookstores if they were like my ideal bookstore (wich might be like Zelda's real bookstore), but the bookstores I know are not nice places. They are full of books, right... but they sorting method in arbitrary and sometimes inexistent. All I see is the spines of books (and I have to turn my head one side and the other to read them) and n times the cover of the latest bestseller (a book written by some TV star, a book about some TV star, a cookbook by a TV star, a guide about TV stars... and Harry Potter). The booksellers don't know that much about books either, they just know how to search their computer systems to check whether they have a particular book or not. Visiting a bookstore in September is a suicide too... they're full of kids and parents buying school textbooks, you can't hardly move there.
Maybe it's me, but I can only find a real (not ideal) bookstore useful if I know in advance the book (or author) I want to buy, otherwise I just lose my time and get disappointed.
