As physical book stores begin to open up, catch up with the latest releases The lockdown may have allowed us more time than we usually get to read but it also deprived us of a fundamental joy of reading: browsing book stores.
You can browse on e-commerce platforms, too, but nothing can beat the experience of walking around stacks of books, the serendipitous discovery of a new title on the shelves, or stumbling upon a used copy of an old favourite.
The good news is that physical books are back on sale. The not-so-good news: You still may not be able go to the shops, in most places, to buy.
However, stores in some cities are arranging home deliveries, so why not check with your local book store to see if it is offering that option?
