My thoughts entirely, Godfrey. With the size of the chain bookstores, you
could spend a lot of time looking for a particular book. Now if you're
browsing, that's fine.
When I go to a bookstore I already know what I want & just want to get it &
get out. It would be different if they all adhered to some sort of
standardized layout.

In most of the big book shops around here, finding where in hell they put
a particular class of titles is incredibly time consuming. If I go to the
information desk and wait for a salesdroid to come by and provide
assistance, all they're going to do is look at the same inventory
computer screen that I look at and tell me whether "RQ- V11.24-FR_T" is in
inventory, then look up with the same tool where in the store it *might*
be, and walk me there.
If I go directly to the computer, I do the same thing in half the time.
Small bookshops ... a completely different world. ;-)
