Who ever said that books are on the way out

The Wee Book Inn has a few locations in Edmonton. This one is on Whyte Avenue and is open until midnight. I not sure how busy they are then as I have never been down here at that time but it might be interesting to find out one of these days

[Brian Baptie]

Love the building as well, with the arched windows.

[Janet Morris]

The window shape is great, another shop I'd love to visit.

[Maaikel]

Nice lighting!

[Shanne]

interesting architecture - I love book shops, we've got one locally that is great

[Mrs. Smith]

Great perspective and lighting...and nice to know that books are still being read.

i doubt that books will ever disappear. someone in my office reads at least 3 novels a week. i always see him with his e-book. yesterday i saw him holding an actual book and i commented him on it. he says the books are not always immediately available on e-book so he had to make do with the paperback. as for me, i prefer the feel of the paper. also e-books don't have that romantic feel like the actual book.

is that melody i see in there? hi! that is a very nice bookstore. in here the only chain have that 'hospital' look. and they don't let you sit around and browse the books. although they do have one store, called "the world's biggest bookstore", acquired as part of the chain, where there are seats and you can actually read some of their books.

very nice shot.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great shot. Love the angle and how the lights illuminate.

[Diane]

Another great facade shot. I think photographers love book shops....

[karenann]

I hope that book stores are around FOREVER! I could live in this one. Great shot of something that I love to to do! Like your lovely wife in this one!

@maaikel Thanks

[bkb in the city]

@mummymorris It is a great store and the books are ones that people have traded or brought in so the prices are a little lower which is always a nice thing.

Beautiful scene! I love both ebooks and real books. My dream job is to work at a book store

[mag]

I love Bookstores...but sadly it appears their days are numbered....nicely photographed nostalgic scene...I hope they last a long long time....

[bruni]

It looks very inviting, nice and bright, love the way you can see the books through the window. We have bookstores here called CHAPTERS. you can spend some time here over a cup of coffee and enjoy reading a book or some magazines at your leisurer. I've read that Chapters is the world biggest bookstore.. for more information on Chapters click on the link below.

[Carolyn White]

I love books, so I love to browse in bookstores. This looks like a really nice one!

[bkb in the city]

@cjwhite It really is and they take trade ins so there are a lot of older books that might other wise be out of print and hard to find

Nice shot- love the early evening glow of the lights. I am a book person too. And since I don't have something I can carry around and read electronically, I'll probably always be a book person!
