Thanks Nick, you're a real little ray of sunshine.

The only large bookstore chain in my area is Dymocks, followed possibly by A&R. Still, I don't think they'll be collapsing in the next few years, even as more people either buy online or from department stores like Myer, Kmart, and BigW.

Maybe the government should also have another look at parallel importation restrictions too.
