Support your local independent bookstore

Saturday, April 27 is Independent Bookstore Day in the U.S.
Pictured is Cavalier House Books in Denham Springs, LA. I just started the book I got there, David Baldacci's "A Calamity of Souls." The book is like stepping back in time to the Virginia of the 1960's.

Sadly books are not in as much demand as in the past. The younger generation either don't care or read books on their computer.I always prefer a good book in my hands.

So good to see there are still stores like this! This one is such a pretty little shop And so is your photo of it. All it needs is someone sitting on that bench reading a book

Lovely capture. I was in Sydney’s biggest bookstore the other day and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of new publications.

Not many independent book stores left... looks like a nice store.

I've been in some pretty amazing independent book stores lately. Besides books, there's always a good mix of other unique products.

Our little independent bookstore on Main Street in Stroudsburg is jam-packed with books. The owner is a bit quirky but nice and her inventory is mostly used books- but they don't look like it. In fact the street and shop look very similar to yours! Nice shot!

It is a shame that book stores are struggling. I do like your PoV and thank you for mentioning this

I went to three independent bookstores when I was in New York last Saturday. I was in heaven.

@sangwann @grammyn @johnfalconer @carolmw @kvphoto @margonaut @olivetreeann @lynnz @joysabin @kwind @joemuli @wiesnerbeth Thanks for all your comments. This bookstore is a treasure with new and used books. Barnes and Noble recently announced that they are opening a store at the mall nearby, which will make three Barnes and Nobles in the Baton Rouge area. It made me more determined to support this independent one.

@wiesnerbeth Awesome! I bet they each had their own ambience.
