I have stumbled in here on a rainy day and decided to sign up and write on. I have noticed that bookshops are very popular when its raining. I would except that libraries would also reap the bounty of wet weather, somehow it doesn’t seem to be the case. Maybe because the library is not as easy to find? I don’t know.

If I managed a bookshop I might get worried about what those wet people with wet things might do to my stock. Now bookshops have become more comfortable with couches and music they are pleasant to visit rain or sun. There is something very pleasant about thumbing through a book that buying online doesn’t match. I have bought books online but usually I already know what they contain. I have bought books that I have discovered in a library, so for libraries help promote the sale of books. It could be that bookshops having also discovered that reading in comfort helps turn a reader into a buyer – no matter what the weather.
