I’d agree with all of those features. I do like to visit bookstores sometimes although I do mostly buy books online now. I would maybe add that my ideal bookstore would include a section of secondhand books as well as new. Some of my favourite books came from secondhand book shops.

I agree with all except exchange. Libraries are for exchanges and I wouldn’t want to pay for a returned book.

What? They still have brick and mortar bookstores? Next you’re going to tell me they sell actual physical books there. That’s so 20th century!

My kids tell me that young people are going analog, buying real journals and writing with actual pens.

A hot bookstore is a big distraction/turnoff.

Very true! Too much heat gives me that “Okay. I’m done here now. Bye.” feeling.

True.
So niggardly storeowners who wrap and seal books should realise they will lose customers that way.
