The death of a bookstore

[Jughead P. Jones]

I love used bookstores too, and I am sorry that your favourite one is closing down.

In my teeny-weeny town of 22,500 people, there's a little bookstore that I go to quite frequently. I think I was nine years old when I began to shop there. Now, at 25, I still love to pop in (therefore making me a customer for sixteen years...eep!). Over the years, it's changed its name a few times. It used to be known as Mulberry Hill, then changed to Walkabout Books, and is now under the name of Book Trader. Of course, I always refer to it as "Mulberry Hill", because that was the name it was known as when I was a young 'un. (That, plus the name Mulberry Hill was just so cool!)

The main reason why I started shopping there was because they had a huge selection of comic books (I'm a major collector), but they also had large selections of used books for every age group, as well as a section where people could buy used CD's, DVD's, VHS tapes, cassettes and even 45's and records.

I apologize for going on and on, but I know the joy of going through used bookstores. You never know what you will find!
