True. Except I remember those distant times, only about 10 years ago, when B&N's selection was so much better than that of any Walmart or Target. It (selection) is still better, but not "so much" any more.
Perhaps if they reclaimed the space used for Nooks, toys, clearance junk and souvenirs, and reallocated it to a much improved selection of actual books, the things would once again be great... But probably not. The ship of a dedicated book superstore has sailed.
