Tony Eldridge | The Great Equalizer

I stumbled upon Fresh Fiction from the recommendation of a friend who loves the
site. As I began surfing, I thought to myself, “Wow, we have come so far as
authors and readers.” It hasn’t been too long since the only places you could
find good books were in the bookstores and in the libraries. That meant that a
lot of great books could never be found or read by readers. Why? Simply because
of the limited resources needed to make the books available. Can you imagine
walking into a bookstore and having to walk through a small sky scraper in
order to browse every book available? Neither time nor money exist for
something like that. Besides, there is something cozy about visiting a library
or bookstore with a cup of coffee or tea in hand to browse through your
favorite genre for a couple of hours. Can you imagine having to schedule your
two-week vacation to do just that if every book ever written was available to
you in a bookstore?
