Hope lasted only for a weekend for thousands of booksellers.
The decision fell this Sunday evening on the 20h TF1 plateau, they will remain closed during confinement.
In other words no reopening for bookstores, closed since Thursday evening, whether they are independent or backed by large brands, their closure is also maintained for the book shelves of supermarkets.
A situation both unfair and absurd for a majority of booksellers who are supported by many publishers and writers.
