Talk:Independent bookstore

[edit] Hobby shop?

I wonder if indy bookstore would classify as a hobby shop?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:27, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Certainly not; reading is civilization, not a hobby. --Orange Mike 13:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of well-known independents getting dodgy?

Is this list in need of trimming? It's susceptible to spamming, I fear; and there are a heck of a lot of redlinks there. I'm hesitant to boldly kill all the redlinks, including the new one just added. I mean, some folks belong here: most of the ones with article, from the Strand to Acres in Long Beach to Renaissance to Tattered Cover to City Lights; but what about the redlinks? Should we set a tacit 30-day (3-day?) limit and then start the trimming? --Orange Mike 13:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
