Bookselling in ... Burma

       In The Myanmar Times Zon Pann Pwint reports on the shuttering of Amay Eain (Mother House) bookshop -- "The oldest bookshop on Pansodan Road" --, in Yangon's long-standing bookshop shuts down
       The familiar lament:

"The decline in sales is one of the factors behind the closure. People don't read, they just play with their mobile phones," said owner U Nyi Nyi, gazing disconsolately at the barred accordion gates.

       One writer does note: "there are many bookshops still open in Yangon"; one hopes that will remain the case.
