I wonder if these smaller, indie bookshops would benefit by being a bookshop+cafe . A place you could grab a coffee and snack while catching up on reading or news. There was this very nice place back where I went to grad school. Old used books, good coffee and snacks. I really miss having such a place where I live now.



To misquote the elders: If you have a bookshop and use a cafe to solve a problem, now you have two problems.

Good article from 2005 on opening a coffee shop, also from Slate: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/a_fine_whine/2005/12/bitt...
