It occurred to me I might help them get their own book store started.

Now, practically speaking, in an age of Kindles, Amazon etc etc ... I
guess it would be hard to come up with a poorer business plan

But

Anybody have any "insider" facts/ opinions on the future of small
independent book sellers? Sources for such informed predictions?

This may be of interest:

The bookstores I still go to in DC have coffee, comfy chairs, poetry
readings (yeah, I know...), political gatherings, etc., not just books.
The store needs to offer something I can't get from Amazon.

who thinks the more interesting question is whether or not nietzsche
was right in implying that the author no longer holds the
copyright.....even under today's insane laws.

Well that is reassuring in its own way. Apparently God is one confused
something or other. Like us. But you would think he would at least
keep a few things straight. Like whether her son was ****ed about the
crucifixion, or serene. Maybe not. And that shellfish thing she has.
Easy to see he never tasted Olympia oysters.
