Don't hipsters like books? Or maybe they're all in Brooklyn.

They like little dusty bookstores full of obscure shit, not big chains.

Barnes & Noble is shit anyway

Thanks Amazon.com and Obama.

I don't mind a bookstore like that. You can find some neat shit there.

But I do like having a big chain to go to when I'm looking for a specific book or books

Heh, the Barnes and Noble downtown has books on growing weed. When I have time to kill down there, I go there and find a comfy chair to read in.

Sadly, there's only really room for Barnes & Noble and like one independent bookstore per city.

It was not legalized in your state yet? Too bad!

Even if it were, I wouldn't buy from a state store. The taxes are retarded.

What is your cost per ounce usually?

 

[OwO What's This?]

Uhh, they still have a library though don't they?

tbf amazon has made big chain bookstores utterly redundant, and as much as i love traipsing around niche bookstores, and being looked at like dogshit by all the owners, i also really like being able to get obscure books delivered to my door for literal pennies.

Are libraries on their way out? I don't think I'd be surprised if they are.

They've adapted to include a lot of DVD rentals, internet access, spaces for public seminars/classes. They also tend to provide nearly any government form someone would need to fill out and submit for something. Very little of what libraries do these days involve books.

Libraries receive some of their funding at the federal level.

Like $250-300/oz.

Or really big ones, like the Strand.

I think public libraries are kept in business by homeless guys who need a computer and internet connection to watch porn.

So guys like this basically.

I don't think they're actually doing anything to help keep them open so much as they're stinking up the place.
