Government minister says Australian general bookstores to be wiped out in five years
This nice little gem from the minister for Small Business in Australia today: http://www.theage.com.au/small-busin...614-1g15n.html.

Quote:
"I think in five years, other than a few specialist booksellers in capital cities we will not see a bookstore, they will cease to exist," Senator Sherry said in Canberra today.
We've had Borders and Angus & Robertsons (two of the larger chains) close here in the last few months. Must be reassuring for the bookstores that are remaining to hear these comments from the Government.


Cheers,
Simon.
