Somewhat ironically, the music books are over there. Also, cookbooks and stuff. I think that's what's going down. Books still sell, I guess.</p> @MhS: At mine they have already started to move books in. Somewhat ironically, the music books are over there. Also, cookbooks and stuff.

After it sells out, they might reorder it, but that's it. No catalog whatsoever.</p> @MrStarhead: I think part of their plan–as explained to me by an employee–is to only stock new releases in DVD and CD.
