Too bad about Fremont Place Books, I've only been in there once or twice (and did buy something), but I admit I do most of my new book purchasing from Amazon. Great to hear that Ophelia's will keep going, I've spent a lot of time there and gotten quite a few books. I do buy used books from stores a lot more often than new books.

I'm really upset to hear about Fremont Place Books. I've bought a number of books there in recent years.

It feels like a small part of civilization is going away, like the world is decaying.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo also Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles shot a scene from 10 Things I Hate About You there.

@1 stop buying new books at amazon if you want independent bookstores to stay afloat.
