I'm confused. Saddened at the idea of the bookshops (my favorite part when visiting there) were shutting down and then reading the article it says that another 100 have opened. This makes it sound like an additional 10 were gained. If I'm not missing some crucial information then the title is misleading which is quite annoying. Either way I am glad that the second hand shops are still doing well. Even though we have fancy technology books are still a very valuable form of presenting information and imagination. I bought a couple books years ago that were falling apart from a small shop that had a second floor on the corner of a random street. One of my favorite memories. Visiting all of those tiny shops sounds so fun if I ever make it back over the pond.
