Yes we all like the notion of 'bookstores' - but there's very hard economic realities to why they are not very common. This is 80% a function of supply and demand. No amount of good will will make this work unless people are buying books. Surely - someone making a statement, catering to a niche not otherwise catered to, encouraging reading - this is all good. But people need to buy books (or whatever else they sell) and that's most of the story. So this looks like a 'good news' story, I wish them well. But we need to buy books (there, and a places like this) for it to work.
