Eek. that's a little troubling.
Depressing...
It is both troubling and depressing, but the whole High Street shopping experience is in decline, and book shops are just a part of that. Let's hope we don't have another bad winter this year. The heavy snow last year hit the stores at their most potentially lucrative time when customers stayed indoors and ordered online. Waterstones are following the trend, focussing on e-readers and coffee, stationery and mugs, and de-stocking books they say 'don't sell'. But it's hard to see how that will leave any place for a bookshop...
And it's sad when a bookshop chain isn't championing books!
