You have more bookstores within walking distance than the combined B&N/Borders presence in the state of Maine.
Our local bookstore has a horrible selection. It tries to cover all the same ground as the big chains only with less space and buying power. It ends up with just the top sellers in each category. It seems to have less and less local focus the less competition it has. It almost seems like competition would take some of the strain of being everyone's bookstore off it and let it get some personality back.
