End caps are a different story, since those are designated by corporate usually. There is also the fact that role playing section is such a low priority for the book store. When I was working in a book store, we knew that the game section and the comics/manga were going to be high traffic areas that saw few sales, so many of the other sellers wrote it off as a lost cause when it came to organizing.</blockquote>
