The artiest mall in the U.S. doesn't have a place for bibliophiles.

More importantly, Rizzoli and Doubleday's existing simultaneously in one shopping center reflects an era when bookstores were plentiful. That ubiquity was a boon to the local community. NorthPark’s proximity to other bookstores has almost certainly contributed to this absence. Two major bookstores exist near this location. The largest Half-Price Books on the continent, for one, is just a stone’s throw from NorthPark. There, residents like Cavazos can spend a whole afternoon browsing through all kinds of new and used media.
Surrounding those Half Price Books and Barnes & Noble stores are other destinations where people are eating and drinking. If the nearby Cheesecake Factory and NorthPark’s Kona Grill can co-exist, a NorthPark bookstore can co-exist with Barnes & Noble. This mini-mecca of flourishing Bishop Arts bookstores paints a hopeful model for how a NorthPark bookstore could function with nearby competition.“We are so connected to technology that it’s becoming harder to feel human," says Cavazos, whose Poets Bookshop opened in January 2020."Our phones, tablets, smart watches are extensions of our physical self. The trend back to books is part of an overall trend of people needing to disconnect from the digital reality.
“We do book signings, author events, I think last year we had around 250,” Perot says. “Our book clubs are really terrifically successful. We have several book clubs. Those develop a real community that make our bookstore a destination, not to mention our highly curated service.”
