Real books are for real

Comment on "How to save real bookstores" (China Daily, Jan 19)

I agree that independent and small bookstores should be preserved and protected in China. As an American college student, I can attest to the fact that the Unites States is facing similar struggles to save the book industry. The American bookstore chain, Borders, recently declared bankruptcy and most of its stores have been forced to close down. This is happening not only to big chains, but to small, independent bookstores as well.
