It can be quite depressing reading bookselling blogs and discovering that yet another favorite bookshop has gone out of business. Like most people, I have succumbed to the convenience of ebooks and buy fewer print copies these days. Although I still make an effort to purchase most of my reading materials in old fashioned paper formats, when I am traveling I usually just bring one print book and load-up my reading apps with digital reading material. Now more than ever, it’s important for all of us to make an extra effort to buy print books from local independent bookshops.
