Black Friday New Yorker cover by Daniel Clowes. This cover is not an exaggeration. Even book stores are selling less books! Why, I don't know. I feel like an old crank. "Wah, make things like they were! I don't like my horseless carriage." But it's true, it's true. I love books, and I know lots of other people do too, so I don't understand why they're disappearing.

"Hey Doogie, what's a good bookstore that ONLY SELLS BOOKS?" I'm glad you asked, blog reader, although you DIDN'T HAVE TO SHOUT. The store you are looking for is Brickbat Books, right here in sleepy Philadelphia!
