Saving bookstores

I am dying for a book club. I was considering trying to start one up but none of my friends really read. So, I think that a book store with a plethora of book clubs, like you said for each genre etc., would be a terrific way to bring in locals. And it would generate cash from the members buying the books (at a discount I presume) and then maybe throwing a few bucks around for coffees and snacks during the meetings. I wouldn't be able to stand it if book stores disappeared, go out and start one up! I would love to but I'm not quite done with college haha

The indie store at which I work does a 20% discount for registered book clubs and they tell us what they are reading ahead of time so we can have them in stock.

The membership thing didn't really do much for either B&N or Borders. (I used to work for Borders and really, they couldn't afford the cost of even giving out frequent coupons).
