That sounds like chain bookstores where I'm from (the US). Independent bookstores are usually different.

This also reminds me of an old joke from a friend: You know the bookstore is bad if the Philosophy section is filled with copies of The Tao of Pooh.

I bought a copy on audio tape and listen to it every couple of months. I find "pooh-tao" (as my wife and I call it) very entertaining.

And easier to pick up at any point in the work than Castaneda, Hitchens, Socrates, etc. Good for driving background audio, in my opinion...

You know the bookstore is bad if the Philosophy section is filled with copies of The Tao of Pooh.

Or it's a GREAT bookstore!
