Comment on Do charity bookshops drive out other second-hand bookshops?

Comments

Possibly, but gosh would it be hard for me to care.

In unrelated news, access to a pure, unfiltered spring drives out local bottled-water sellers.

We are in an era where even manufacturing physical copies of books is incredibly cheap. I'm not going to stress about charity bookshops disrupting scarcity in that ecosystem any more than I'm going to worry about libraries or the Internet doing so.
