Terror in Terrace!

by Siobhan
Humour / November 02, 2009

There’s been a lot of discussion in the publishing world recently about whether the book is dead, what with the advent of e-book, new technologies, and so on.

I think people are missing the point. Instead of debating whether or not the “book is dead”, we should really be asking the question, “Is the bookseller dead?”

If we look at a case study—oh, say, Misty River Books in Terrace, B.C.—the answer to this question would be a resounding “YES!”. Likely followed by a bloodcurdling scream.

Just look at this undead staff. They might try handsell you a book. But they might just gnaw your hand off instead.
