The Book Nook (??) book store, Sosua ... Open ???

I am a paper and ink man myself but would e-reading be a solution?

i was there not too long ago, maybe two months? it was open and fully stocked. lovely man running the business, very helpful.

I think the last time I went by, there was a sign in the window “Sorry, we are only accepting paperbacks. No more hardcovers.”
(Or something to that effect?)

Limited hours,- tho the sign says 10-2 it was 12-2 when I was there a few weeks ago.  The lady who runs it was ill or had an accident and her friend is trying to keep it up for her.  
I have have an reader for years but still enjoy paper books

We are also preparing to come down for several months and was wondering if the book nook was going to be open? Last winter they were closed for a while. Does anyone have their phone number? Or email address? Or perhaps contact info for the Checkpoint?

If the Book Nook is not open try the free book shelves in Fraggle Rock Bar, the selection isn't bad and changes as people "swap" their book.  Not nearly as many books as The Book Nook but open from 10.00am every day.

Carl Hackman, a newly published writer himself, is currently manning the Book Nook as far as I know.

I was there today.Carl is no longer managing it. Another person is there only 12-2 Tuesdays & Thursdays until the end of the month when Mick and his wife return from Scotland. Hoping regular hours will resume upon their return and happy to learn Fraggle Rock is an alternative.

My solution to the reading addiction is I have a Samsung Tablet and have installed Nook on it. Nook is Barnes and Noble's ereader. One can read without a light on so any other person in bed is not disturbed, also Barnes and Noble has over a million free downloads. It is a lot less cumbersome than a hard cover book which is difficult to keep open and at the right page while drifting off to sleep. If one doesn't turn the page every fifteen minutes it shuts off automatically. Just don't drop it on the concrete floor. Did that cracked the screen $40.00 to repair it!
I download a dozen freebies a month, if by chance i happen to get something I don't wanna read such as about vampires and or were wolves I just stop after a page or two since i paid nothing for it. Just to balance things out I buy a book or two each month.
