That is interesting, but all sorts of printed media have seen a decline in the U.S. at least. A lot of magazines have gone under or are going entirely digital. While books seem to be doing okay in printed form, I'm certain they've seen a decline too. Western comics were usually sold at newsstands and magazine racks. Newspapers are almost completely gone and magazine racks have been downsized everywhere from when I was a kid.
