I was a constant frequenter of their stores a few years back, but now I can't be bothered. Nowadays, they are as appealing as the book sections of Myers and DJs, and I can't be bothered with them, either. A book to them is just a product, an SKU in a range catalogue, and nothing more. Luckily, there are still genuine bookshops around - in Sydney, Abbey, Gleebooks, and Shearers, for example, and Borders at a pinch - so that's where my custom goes these days. Agree about Dymocks.
