Charles Bukowski - American author
[Split from this thread.]
My summer eBay sales were disappointing, over all. Some things went low, some went very low, some didn't sell at all. I know it's a bad time to sell most years, but I'm wondering if it isn't even worse now, due to the economy. Another independent boostore in our town is closing (or moving to another town, actually). In 10 years will there be any bookstores left, or will it all be Kindles and downloads from Amazon? Oh sure, thyere will always be some hole in the wall with ratty paperbacks, but is the bookstore with new books doomed?
