Booksellers can and will thrive here

• OUR local used and independent bookshops are not financial basketcases as your article (Write Off? January 7) implied – there is a continuing demand for used books.
The question is do we want bookselling to take place in Bloomsbury? Do we want to protect the small, more affordable units that these booksellers need?
If the answer is no, they will go elsewhere. If the answer is yes, they can and will thrive.
