“ As much as I adored this [book] store, I can’t imagine the insanity of a $65k monthly nut. Especially when you’re competing with free delivery from a company that stocks every conceivable piece of media in print — let alone groceries, toys, electronics, and pretty much any other hard good on the planet that can fit into a box. Sad, awful, and horribly overdue inevitability that, in this instance, feels like a lot more than a statistic and a shrug.”

Harry Schwartz Bookshops are closing in and around Milwaukee this weekend. For me it’s probably the UWM bookstore or Amazon now.
