“Perhaps booksellers who neglect the classics are merely responding to market demands.”
Ya think? They should stock stuff that doesn’t sell at all? That’s what those classics are. The booksellers are keeping stuff on the shelf that doesn’t sell. Good for them.
If the author doesn’t like it the author could start a classics bookstore.

I think it was more a comment on the state of society, as opposed to the state of bookstores.
