It could be that the store provides more than books. When I was younger, I used to participate in fantasy and historic games. We played Saturday mornings at a store called The Toy Soldier. The guy who owned the store ran the games. He specialized in the figures, literature, and accessories we played with so we overpaid a bit for the convenience of shopping where we played. He also provided expertise and was a good guy. That was in the 80s, so we had few alternatives and there was no such thing as super saver shipping, but this was a situation in which a guy made a living in a niche.
