The Bookstore Comments

The emergence and rise of internet as an information super highway has tremendously dwindled the fortunes of libraries, post-offices, and bookstores. It's lovely to learn that you prefer bookstores to Amazon, I also think that such stores are more exciting. A well articulated piece of poetry nicely penned with insight. Thanks for sharing Augusta. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Great poem, I appreciate going to the bookstore also, the smell of new and old books, a nostalgic look at how things used to be before Amazon came along. Thank you for this beautifully written poem, it keeps the memory alive! Hopefully all generations will find their passion in a bookstore.. RoseAnn

''that gem of a bookstore'' yes, unfortunately many and many such lovely places succumb to Amazon & the other web giants every month.. I'm not against Amazon, but I'd love that the future generations had the chance to experience what your well penned poem describes..
