When I was in Seattle I saw somewhere a mention of a co-op bookstore, and I thought, what a great idea! Perhaps the co-op business model would withstand commercial pressures better than private ownership has.
In 2012, the United Nations declared that 2012 was the year of co-op enterprises.
Have you heard of any co-op bookstores beyond Seattle, Washington, USA?
