The retail side has alot to do with it. Newsstands and small bookstores are mostly done, and Walmart and other stores are mostly shitty evangelical Jesus books.

Even airport stores are at least half that crap in many cases.

I suspect this is why downthread I mentioned not remembering Costco selling books. Those kinds of displays so rarely have anything I’d care about that my brain just filtered them out heh.

I was at Costco three days ago and the books for sale table which, in years past, spanned much of an aisle, is now down to about a 5x3 ft table offering nothing to my interest.

Costco made a decision a few years back that they were going to only sell books as part of their Christmas seasonal offerings.
