july theme day: facade

once little brattleboro claimed three new bookstores and four or five used bookshops.
the number of brick and mortar bookstores dwindles annually.
but basket's books, with its garage/barn door facade, continues to hang on.

The way small businesses like bookstores go out of business because of big businesses like Barnes & Noble make me a basket case.

Hope this one hangs on for a long, long time...the riches therein cannot be duplicated in a B&N or on Amazon!

I mourn the loss of independent book stores! Hang in there!! Buy many books (not that you probably need that admonition!).

Lowell, not even Barnes & Noble will be spared. I love a good book store like the one featured here. Great theme day photo!

I really do find this loss of book stores as very sad. I so enjoyed just browsing in a book store and would almost always find something to take home. I realize that times change but, this is one of those things that I will miss very, very much.

I also lament the passing of bookstores.

Independent bookstores seem to have a lot of staying power around here. Brattleboro Books looks like a shop with a lot of charm.

Charming storefront . . . hope this Indie hangs on . . .

Very interesting entrance for a bookstore, it looks a kind of sinister and inviting!

I missed this wondrous facade the other day. The painting draws you in - I would have a hard time leaving!

So glad to hear it Brattcat, sometimes the small quirky bookshops survive purely for that reason, people love them and frequent them..

Smart.
Even the fact that I work in a big bookshop, I still like the treasures I can find in small bookshops:)
