There are pile of museum gift stores in Local which are identified as bookstores.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm inclined to think of them as gift stores where you can buy books and a lot of other things (art, gifts, souvenirs, maps, posters, jewelery, fancy umbrellas, clothing, etc.). By calling them bookstores, we could also call Walmart and Costco bookstores, too (perish the thought).

Any opinions? I'd like to re-identify them in Local as "other places".

The key thing is that you need to mark them as selling books—new or used checkbox.

I'm going to be splitting the "others" into those that sell books and those that are basically for events. This is how I'm going to do it.

I like it!

A loooong while back I also asked whether we could have a category for book publishers. I'd still like to see that.

And while I'm wishing, I'd also like a pony.
