The dying bookstores

Bookstores in San Francisco appear to be dying out. We have just found out that the great shop: A Clean and Well Lighted Place for Books has gone out of business in the last year. Also since then, Valencia books with the great bookstore cat Grumblebunny, has gone out of business too.
This is bad as chain stores like Borders and Barnes & Noble now dominate the shop market and Amazon the internet pushing small bookstores out of business, just as they do in the UK!
One day we will live to regret this loss.
