A bookstore, large or small, can refuse to sell anything it darn well chooses not to sell, and should not be accused of censorship.
Your choice is to decide to shop elsewhere.

The definition of censorship does not reference government action in anyway. Any person or organization that is in the position to control access to media can be involved in censorship. This can be on the level of a school library, or it can be on the level of a whole nation. The seriousness of this issue varies based on the reach of the effects of the censorship. This is what we are talking about.
