The Days That Used To Be

It’s broken and it ain’t fixed. The boat’s been rocked and things have gone their own digital way. But there are many of us not conceding, maybe not enough.

It’s such a simple thing, to follow one’s own dream of beautiful bookstores. And finishing those great novels, if you so wish.
