> Since 1981 (or so) the price of books has been fixed by law. Nobody can sell them lower than that price. If you walk through Paris (or most cities) you'll see a number of small library shops that contribute to local economy and culture. I find that very nice! How many times have you bought something in one of those shop this year? I see lot of people trying to defend the postcard way of life. Even if people living there don't want to be part of the postcard and want to enjoy modern things. Like cheap books so you can read a lot for not too much. There's only one kind of shops offering the postcard dream for cheap concerning books: used book stores. You can enjoy trying to find some specific book but you usually end with a dozen books you never heard of and can discover new authors.
