I was going to contradict you, that bookstores always carry bibles...but then I realized the memory I was thinking of was from the 90s.

I'd say this is just a good excuse for me to go to the bookstore and check...but they've all become so small and sad that I kind of don't want to. I just get depressed.

I know ebooks and audiobooks have massively taken off so people are reading/listening still...I just miss my childhood refuge being stuffed chock-full of treasures.
