I love bookstores (like most people in this thread, I assume) and notice the mtv-ization where they sell more stuff that book people like than actually books (puzzles, games, journals, art supplies). I wonder if this is a spiral to try to stave off eventual closure or the future where there will be one shelf of books and the rest “book culture.” Nothing makes me happier than going into a book store and seeing a huge stack of outbound internet sales to be mailed out.
