"The feel of a book taken from the shelf and held in the hand is a magical experience, linking writer to reader. But to compete with the World Wide Web, bookstores of the future will be different from the mass-oriented superstores that now dominate the retail marketplace. Tormorrow's stores will have to be what the Web cannot be: tangible, intimate, and local; communal shrines, perhaps with coffe bars offering pleasure and wisdom in the company of others who share one's interests, where the book one wants can always be found and surprises and temptations spring from every shelf." p. 38.
sound familiar?
