[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 4748654, member: 29112"] I'm not sure about that. Where I live, 'regular' bookstores (small and large) are around every frickin' corner, same as always (well, same as I can remember it always being). Seriously, tons of them. And they seem to be doing just fine. Well, the fact that they're all still there and doing business says a lot, anyhow. And 2nd-hand bookstores are everywhere too (not sure if they should be counted together, or separately). The FLGS though? Well yeah, that's still there too. [i]But[/i]. . . there used to be [U]three[/U] in the same area, not one. That was a fair while ago, mind you. But it certainly seems as though times have changed, in that way. I figure it's the miniatures, collectible card games, other games altogether, and stuff like miniature painting lessons being offered, as well as CCG tournaments and weekly gatherings (whatever they're called; I forget) that really keep them afloat. Oh, and the tables and areas customers (or whoever) can use for games of any kind, just about any ol' time. If they were relying on TTRPG sales? :erm: Wouldn't want to be them. [/QUOTE]
