Given Heather Reisman's announcements of what she plans to do with the 
business, I wouldn't be too sure of that.  She wants to have more 
emphasis on gifts etc., and less on books, which will result in an even 
poorer selection.  I don't think we'll find many computer science books, 
in a gift shop.
