A reproduction of Thoreau's cabin with a statue of Thoreau Walden (also known as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau's life for two years, two months, and two days in second-growth forest around the shores of Walden Pond, on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson, not far from his friends and family in Concord, Massachusetts. Walden was written so that the stay appears to be a year, with expressed seasonal divisions. Thoreau called it an experiment in simple living. Thoreau lived in close geographical proximity to the town Concord: "living a mile from any neighbor," should be taken literally; he lived about a mile from his neighbors.

2) "Bookstores" -- As to walden bookstores book·store Pronunciation: -"stor Function: noun : a place of business where books are the main item offered for sale -- called also bookshop Pronunciation Symbols A bookstore. A bookstore or bookshop is a retailer that primarily sells books. Bookstores can range in size from local independent bookstores offering several hundred titles to large brick-and-mortar chains offering upwards of 200,000 titles; online bookstores may offer many times more titles. Bookstores often sell items related to books such as newspapers and maps; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independents. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains such as Barnes & Noble College Bookstores, which is a subsidiary of Barnes & Noble. Another common type of bookstore is the used bookstore or second-hand bookshop which buys and sells used copies of books, often for prices much cheaper than new copies. However, sometimes rare books, especially certain first editions (usually literary and illustrated), command much higher prices. 90% of all available titles, in print and out of print, are to be found in used bookstores. Book collectors tend to frequent used book stores. Large online bookstores offer used books for sale, too. Individuals wishing to sell their used books using online bookstores agree to terms outlined by the bookstore(s): for example, paying the online bookstore(s) a predetermined commission once the books have sold. If you sell your books to a used book dealer you may expect anywhere from 10% to 50% of retail value depending on how long the dealer thinks it take to re-sell the book. At any given bookstore, there are some books (or many, depending on their emphasis) which the store will not wish to buy at any price. Do not expect top dollar (or perhaps any dollar) for ex-library and book club books. Books in a Tokyo Bookstore - List of bookstore chains
