How did bookshops suddenly become cool?
- gumboshoes 2y agoI deny the premise of the headline. "Suddenly" is problematic. Cozy culture around bookstores has long been a thing.
- LennyHenrysNuts 2y agoCompletely agreed. I've always loved bookshops. I have noticed as I age that there doesn't seem to be many books for my demographic any more though - probably a problem with me rather than the industry. Or maybe middle aged men just read sports autobiographies now. <shrugs>
- cafard 2y ago> gen Z and millennials are more likely to buy a book based on a bookseller’s recommendation – in person, in a bookshop – than older age groups The older generations--I speak as a boomer--may have more settled opinions (or if you will, prejudices) and may not be that eager for the recommendations of a young staffer.
