"The Last Bookshop" Topic

If you thought Mad Max offered a look at a dark future, here's the more likely option that's just as bleak. The Last Bookshop is a short science fiction movie that imagines a future where physical books have died out. One day, a small boy's holographic entertainment fails, so he heads out to explore the streets of abandoned shops outside. Down a forgotten alley he discovers the last ever bookshop. And inside, an ancient shopkeeper has been waiting over 25 years for a customer to show up.

Excuse me, Mister…but would you happen to have the Cliff Notes version of Moby Dick?

Someone give Mr. Preziosi a nice prize for that excellent punchline!

Excuse me, sir, but do you have Twilight in hardback?

But…but….that's Tunbridge Wells, and there's a second hand bookshop just round the corner from Halls Bookshop !

Bookshops will survive by not being the internet : YouTube link

It's all fun and games untill they close down the bookstore you'v been going to since you learned to read and turn it into a Mexican resale shop & used car lot.

Amazon – making it impossible to find new and interesting books.
