Phantom Bookstores

A writer keeps an interior map of bookstores, like a hungry person and soup kitchens. I remember where bookstores are. I like to go in them, just to be among books and the people who like them.

"There’s never been a better time, I don’t think, to be a writer or publisher. The playing field is more democratic than ever, in that any small publisher can get a book to any reader in the world with relative ease. That’s very new, and good for everyone. I’m also encouraged because it looks like ebooks’ share of the market might be levelling out. I always hoped there’d be a plateau, and after that, ebooks and physical books would enjoy a kind of permanent détente. At least for the moment, that seems to be what’s happening."
