I know it's not a popular thought, but "good riddance" to the small stores, in most cases. Given the choice of going to three or four different stores, I'd far rather go to a single stores that beats all of their prices (or at least comes close). I save time, money and gas. For the specialty stores, I'd far rather go to a Barnes and Noble that might have the book I want in stock, rather than a store that will happily order it for me.
I'm not saying the Walmarts of the world don't have their issues, but I'm happy with the efficiency I get as a consumer.
