Despite years of predictions regarding the decline of physical books, Hazel Broadfoot, owner of Dulwich Village Books, insists they remain vital to community life.
Vida Adamczewski from Review Bookshop highlights that people across generations are still drawn to physical books as a form of relaxation and escape.
The resurgence of independent booksellers since COVID-19 has created a demand for personalized recommendations and community connection that online shopping cannot replicate.
Ms. Broadfoot emphasizes that the evolving skills of booksellers are crucial in an industry affected by both e-books and online retail, fostering meaningful relationships.
