ALGONQUIN – Hollie and Eric Lindgren are hoping nostalgia in an era of tablets and e-readers can turn their recently opened used bookstore into a popular commodity for residents around Algonquin.

The couple believes their passion for a classic paperback can rub off in area starved for a physical and affordable book store, since grander retailers like the Algonquin Borders closed in 2011.

"People keep telling me that books are becoming obsolete, that Kindles are taking over," Hollie Lindgren said. "But I still believe that there are a lot of people who still want to hold a book."
