If the big box era comes to and end, indies could make a comeback. And if there's a market for these specialized stores, someone can fill it. I can't see that Minneapolis is the only place that could have a store dedicated to science fiction, for example. One strength Uncle Hugo's has is that they employees really know their stuff. A friend of mine was looking for a book and didn't know the title or the author, only a vague description. He had the book in his hand in less than a minute. Picking the right employees can make all the difference in a business.
