that movement concisely--Daniel Clowes' cover for the Dec. 5 New Yorker titled "Black Friday." The cartoon shows a store with shelves filled with T-shirts, caps, bags and figurines of famous authors and a table displaying e-readers. Only a bottom shelf carries a row of print books.It's the bookstore of tomorrow, if you can find an actual bookstore (cognoscenti call them "bricks and mortar") these days.
