According to a story over at the great Publishers’ Marketplace, Borders and other mega book retailers have seen a big drop in sales this quarter. What do they blame it on?

Not just the absence of Harry Potter, but the lack of any meaningful hardcover hits to move units and bring traffic to stores.

Apparently, no decent fiction was published last quarter.

I guess I’m not the only shopper who felt underwhelmed by recent offerings. Even Special Topics in Calamity Physics and The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters, which have both received very good reviews, failed to keep my attention past the first ten pages.
