People Are Still Buying Books at Indie Bookstores

The death of bricks and mortar book-selling has been predicted for years.

This is a depressing thought when so many of us (I’m a two-time non-fiction author, so I have skin this game) earn our living (or hope to), from the acquisition, editing, writing, designing, marketing and selling of books, whether adult coloring books, how-to guides, cookbooks or YA novels.

An entire ecosystem relies on ideas moving from writer to a room filled with books for sale, not simply to Amazon and ebooks.
