It used to be so nice to be on my feet browsing them between flights, but now it is hard to find more than a few books/magazines in a news stand, much less an entire bookstore. The most extreme example I have seen is Incheon airport in Seoul where I seem to always have 6-8 hour layovers. There used to be a huge bookstore there as well as several well-stocked news stands with English language books. Last year, they had disappeared--everyone of of them. I searched the entire airport for any written material (books or magazines) and found only one small stall 3' wide in hallway that had a few magazines in Korean. No other material in print was to be found in that huge airport.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407060780973412216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030089012413435233.post-8333489425050348162014-01-18T19:08:27.457-08:002014-01-18T19:08:27.457-08:00Give me a real book any day I will not succumb to ...Give me a real book any day I will not succumb to technology. There is just something about holding a book. It's a small treasure. We spend too much time in front of screens as it is. Our Costco still has the full run of books but I prefer to go to a real bookstore, it's a multi-sensory field trip.Linda Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03586566377332113832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030089012413435233.post-80273925551626253032014-01-18T15:07:08.514-08:002014-01-18T15:07:08.514-08:00I was at my local costco in Utah Valley and was im...I was at my local costco in Utah Valley and was impressed with the books (I'm a young mother and must not get out much) they had nicely bound editions of Jane Austen, Sherlock Holmes, Poe etc... I don't know about best-sellers because I just don't get out that much.hosanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167542347672195520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030089012413435233.post-28602598296740333122014-01-17T21:27:01.738-08:002014-01-17T21:27:01.738-08:00I must admit that I used to buy a lot more books a...I must admit that I used to buy a lot more books at Costco--now I get them in Kindle.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545324318652522177noreply@blogger.com
