Posting this a bit late, but one day takes another at the moment.
Just learned, that an old book shop Atheneum in Copenhagen is about to close business. They opened the doors in 1874 (141 years ago) and have always been ready with advise and suggestion, if you were a bit stuck with the choices available or needed inspiration - but the internet business and the end of bookstores having lost the monopoly on selling books here in Denmark, so the supermarket chains can sell books at incredible low prices have proven to be too much competition. Makes me think of the movie "You've Got Mail" where Meg Ryan's children's book store has to close - just proves that some of the points in that movie are still valid. *sigh*
