Yeah, I think that whenever I hear of the rise of indie bookstores. Maybe that's true if you live in a hipster paradise like New York, Seattle or San Francisco, but for most of us, it's Barnes and Noble or nothing.

If B&N and Borders hadn't stomped the little bookstores, how many would still be around, I wonder?
