I remember the old Whitcombe and Tombs bookstores from my New Zealand childhood. And A&R is Angus and Robertson (?). Is the world going to be taken over by one huge blob like book-business entity absorbing all other bookstores? Arghh!
The Melbourne Central Borders always seems to have plenty of traffic, though that may not translate into profits. I do find it unpleasant to visit though, with its bland, populist collection, and poorly maintained shelves.
