Bad Economy = Good News For Used-Book Sellers
"The consensus of the economic pundits seems to be that 2009 is going to be awful - every bit as bad as 2008. ... In the search for silver linings, I conclude that this can only be good news for secondhand book dealers. So my prediction for 2009 is that the devoted book reader will beat a path ever more urgently to those forgotten, out-of-the-way corners of musty tranquility of which the shopping class knows nothing."
