[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5127161, member: 177"] It is in Borders and Barnes and Noble. In both cases, they have brains - it is generally right by the manga, comics, and YA fantasy fiction. Presenting books in front of a section designed for kids that read seems reasonable to me. I wouldn't be surprised if the target kids spend very little time in toy stores, and instead are spending significant time looking for their favorite media and stories. And I think folks are massively overestimating the barrier of "big books" to younger players. You ever watched a kid get into something? They go whole hog. Huge Harry Potter novels are no barrier whatsoever. Kids have short attention spans, except when they don't :) [/QUOTE]
