What is the pronunctiation or hiragana of 古本屋 and 古新聞? It looks like its "ふるいほんや" and "ふるいしんぶん" but the い is missing after its kanji 古 (like 古い本屋). Or is it "こほんや" and "こしんぶん"? Thank you.

古本屋 is... HuruHon ya ふるほんや 古新聞 is... HuruShinbun ふるしんぶん in addition... 古本(HuruHon) = used book 古本屋 = used book shop 古新聞 = used news paper 古雑誌(HuruZasshi) = used magazine ( these are not for sale, for recycle ) But, normally, 'used' = 中古(Chuuko) For ex. 中古車(ChuukoSha) = 'used car'.
