I wish it wasn't such a hard sell around here. We've got a ridiculously knowledgeable staff and a pretty solid selection of D&D books and minis for a bookstore of our size. Or, period, really. Aside from being the only bookstore within miles in this neighborhood, we're pretty much the only bookstore in Brooklyn that cares about the subject of rpgs at all. Manhattan has the Compleat Strategist, and I remember growing up in the 80s in south Brooklyn and seeing lots of D&D stuff in the book store in Kings Plaza, but you don't find role playing games in mainstream bookstores so much any more. Our customers long ago became hip to our comic book section, as consumers have become hip to illustrated fiction in general, but the other shoe hasn't yet dropped for books involving dice-rolling. Until then, we'll keep plugging away and hope the New York Times starts recognizing rpg literature the way they've started with comics.
