Setting aside the damage done by the advent on internet which helps with search and deliveries, i feel that there's a change in the attitude of people today. I used to walk into the bookshops near my home and university, walk around and browse, the people who worked there were passionate and would recommend titles to you. One of them even helped connect people to book-clubs, i miss those connections. It doesn't seem that people want to spend that kind of time. Browsing UBS, checking titles and finding those with notes marked in pencil and messages for the next reader across books is an experience i would like my children to have.
