If we support them they will thrive. It is very relaxing to browse a book store. Online is good, too, but it is fun to browse books.

As a book lover with hundreds of books in my library I still feel the flutter of wonder when I walk into a great bookstore or library. Bring it back! Agree Lewis.

Good people were always needed and still are, but in fewer numbers and some print professions have died. What worries me most, however, is the direction some publishers are headed. The publisher of Lead With Your Heart, my next book (available this or next week), doesn't distribute to bookstores. All sales are online at Amazon.com, HRD Press and other online book outlets. There is something romantic about feeling and touching a book before we purchase it. That seems to be going away. I hope I am wrong.
