Very well told documentary -- had a easy-to-follow story arc. Enjoyed seeing this on the big screen at the Macon Film Festival. The "chapter" approach worked well.
Ain't so much about the smell and feel of a book or needing a break from screens. The spatial dynamics of bound and printed matter is inherently superior for the experience of reading. Each portion of the text has its unique location in physical space, which aids processing and recall. It's simply the best best possible technology for reading. CDs and DVDs were quickly supplanted because the experience of listening and watching is not affected by the lack of a phyisical medium. I don't think a guilt trip is needed to keep physical books in demand. For my part at least I rest confident in the permanence of physical books, whether we root for it or not.
Fantastic bookstore! We just found it on our road trip.
Awesome! They are great people. I'm glad you came across them!
Like #3, so interesting
