A retreat for Barnes & Noble
Barnes & Noble is retreating. The bookseller said it plans to shut down about 20 stores each year over the next decade. The company’s new store openings have slowed since 2009, thanks to a shrinking print market and competition from vendors like Amazon. Unit sales of print books dropped 9 percent last year and are off 22 percent from 2007.

Editor's note: Could this be a good thing for independent book stores like Lift Bridge?
