We found out some very sad information yesterday. By the end of this year, Loome's Bookstore in downtown Stillwater will be closed. It will still have the church store (the largest theological bookstore in at least North America). So there will be only 3 bookstores in town: the church, the small one with the really cool bird cage, and the last antiquarian bookstore in Stillwater. Apparently, there used to be over 25 bookstores in town.
Maybe Stillwater can no longer be called a Book Town.

The owner of the antiquarian store we talked to said that it was mainly due to the internet, which is one of those helpful/harmful tools in a business like that. (I think that this is the kind of thing that they forgot to include in futuristic movies).
