“amazon has done a good job at becoming that. They started selling books online, and there went the bookstore.”
Most local bookstores in N, California were (operative word) owned by left wing zealots, with a high % of arrogant and hostile lesbos and gays in the stores.
Close to two decades ago, I posted on FR how even the name brand book stores refused to carry conservative books like Rush’s books.
One local store refused to carry Fishing books and magazines as fly fishers damaged the environment as well any conservative book.
The same store refused to order books for my wife’s bible study group.
Now, I can get a conservative book for my Kindles in less than a minute. I can order regular books for my wife, DIL and grandkids and have them sent to their homes or to my home for gifts from PaPa!
The one surviving bookstore is operating out what used to be part of a Whole Paycheck store.,
I enjoyed sending them, copies of the receipts of books ordered on line or electronically. On each copy, in large cursive, I wrote, “When will you close your liberals store?”
ha, when did they close it?
