Yolande Cornelia "Nikki" Giovanni, Jr. (Nikki Giovanni) Quotes
I am a big fan of the electronic book. I hate to see the old bookstores close, but they have to reinvent themselves. I believe the First Edition bookstore will be the next thing. People will read electronically, then decide they want to own that book. The author will then be invited to the old bookstores to sign. I think books will always be with us, but they will fill a different need.Yolande Cornelia "Nikki" Giovanni, Jr.
