That isn't necessarily true. The trick is to find the independent bookstore that specializes in specific genre(s). Mysterious Galaxy, for example, has more lineal feet of science fiction than my local Barnes & Noble, but at least a factor of two (and as much in mysteries, to boot). But nothing else.
