As you say, W H Smiths has given up any pretence of selling books other than bestsellers.
Waterstone's has taken over other chains, such as Dillon's, Ottaker's etc. Ten years ago, it used to allow the staff in each store to choose some of the books, so there was quite an interesting selection. Now it is all done centrally and the stores are disappointingly homogenous.
I shall be sorry to see Borders go.
