Barnes and Noble Launches Rare and Collectible Store
Not to be outdone by Amazon, Barnes and Noble has launched its own Rare and Collectible store.
These new stores are a boon to book collectors and say a lot about the industry view of book collectors and book collections. The recent financial crisis hit book dealers, book buyers and book collectors as hard as it hit everyone else. Book prices, which had been rising steadily over the past few years, began a steady decline as the economy tanked. It will be interesting to see the direction prices go as these new on line sources develop.
It is an interesting development in the world of book collecting and brings the book collector "out of the closet" and front and center in the eyes of industry big shots like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. What will be the repercussions? It is a bit soon to say but is a development well worth watching.
