Don’t get me wrong. This trend is a happy one AFAIC. I love “real” bookstores. But according to the graphic right up top, there are about 2000 of them in the USA, right? That averages 40 per state. And of course the more populous states will have more. (So I’m guessing that North Dakota, for example, has one or two independent book stores)?
I don’t even know what my original point was. The world sucks. Carry on.
