I've noticed a trend.  Actually, I've been noticing a trend, but now, I'm starting to feel the crunch of it.  My genre space is shrinking.  That is to say, at the bookstore, the amount of shelf space dedicated to SF & F is shrinking.  I find it odd, in light of the fact that seating is being reduced in bookstores across the country (Notably Borders), that the shelf space for our genre is being reduced.



I don't have answers, and I know I'm working from observations, not hard data.  Two points might determine a line, but can hardly be said to describe a trend.  No, I'm not really in a panic, just in a mode to vent.  But underneath that, I'm wondering, am I the only one noticing?  Is it actually happening?  Or am I being chicken little?
