Sad, but not surprising

I thought it'd been a long time since I received a catalog from Laissez Faire Books . . . they're shutting down operations:

The catalog has for decades been the best way to keep up on the thankfully ever-growing flood of books of interest to libertarians. While in an Amazon and abebooks age, the need for one special place to go to to obtain sometimes obscure books may be smaller, LFB and its catalog editors' ability (special hat tip to libertarian legend Roy Childs, who edited the catalog in the late '80s and early '90s and read and understood more libertariana than any random 20 ordinary libertarians) find and compile in one place and intelligently review and contextualize,books for the libertarian community will be sorely missed.

As one of the comments said (I hope tongue-in-cheek): "SamB: Goddam big business book sellers running out these small mom and pop laissez faire book stores! The government should do something about this!"
