New or used, booksellers are struggling.
John King Books, an institution of used and rare books in Detroit, has slashed its prices in an effort to stay alive – “If we don’t move the entire inventory in a fairly quick time – a couple months – then I don’t know what I will do,” King said.
And another indie bookstore closes its doors – Second Story Books, NY. Such closures as this are no longer surprising news, and Peter Applebome of the NYT explores why.
