Meh, last time I was in a bookstore I found that the floor was being dominated by:
- school materials (pens, paper, rulers, glue etc. etc.)
- trash tier romance "novels"
- (auto-)biographies of all kinds of wastes of flesh (politicians, "comedians")
- the latest in teenager literature (Harry Potter, Twilight etc.)
But IMHO the straw that really broke the camels back was that the "Technik" (technical) section was reduced to one shelf about 0.5m wide x 2m tall filled with nothing but book(let)s on "how to learn touch-typing" and "how to teach my grandparents to use the computer". That section had just a few years prior been a whole corner of that store filled with all kinds of learning materials on programming, computer science, electrical engineering and the like.

What a collossal decline...
