I have to agree - but the High Streets around me would/will seem strange with just Smiths dreary presence !
But........... a nearby town still has a true "old fashioned" bookshop, which has hung on for dear life, through 3 changes of ownership over the last 20 years.
So there is some hope, albeit on a smaller scale, in this instance.
