Paperbacks Unlimited is closing -- it catches my attention, not because I've ever been there, but because they seem to be doing everything right by my reasoning. One quote that's telling of their dilemma: People don't buy anything that wasn't advertised recently.

This looks like a marketing problem from both ends: publishers aren't marketing books enough, and booksellers aren't marketing their wares enough. How else are people supposed to know what they want to read?
