The American Mathematical Society held on October 1903 its regular meeting in New York City. The program announced a talk by Frank Nelson Cole (1861-1921), with the unpretending title of 'On the factorization of large numbers'. In due course, Cole approached the board and started to multiply the number 2 by itself, step after step and without saying a word, sixty seven times.

TweetEver since Diamond announced their Diamond Digital initiative, allowing comics shops to sell digital comics to customers, I’ve been wondering about the future of comics retailing, specifically, How well do comics shops market their stores online? I’ve been a bookseller since 1994, and I’ve seen how the Internet has affected traditional brick-and-mortar retailing. Books have [...]

This is a really interesting article. I was surprised to see my local comic shop on this list too (I live in SE Denver, next door to Aurora). One comment though, Mile Comics sucks and the two best stores in and around Denver include I Want More Comics in Westminster or Time Warp in Boulder. Both are worth the drive!
[...] type of retailer better than another. But the fact is that it really doesn’t matter, because many retailers aren’t using either one—and that is a lost opportunity, as Torsten Adair reports in The [...]
Nice. I’m sure some enterprising person will write a program to search the CSLS for all active zip-codes and do a more comprehensive report. Hopefully he won’t be working for a company like the one proposed.
Typo alert: in the Beanworld caption it should be “ReaderS” instead of “Reader,” unless I’m the only one left.
Perhaps a larger established chain could adopt a comics shop element to their model, like Toys R Us. They have the real estate to do so and could adopt a “20-something man-child” sub-vibe to their stores sort of like the re branding McDonalds has enacted recently. They have been having a tough time with online and incorporating a digital distribution model into its site would be a way for it to distinguish its self from the competition.
I wonder why more comics shops don’t sell digital comics online.
Or use Comixology’s (or Diamond’s) data for new release pages.
Or use Comixology’s webtools for retailers. ($80 a month, max.)
Or why Diamond doesn’t act as an online fulfillment center for store websites.
A store places a custom facade on the online store. Diamond processes all of the data, inventory, processing, shipping. Stores set the prices they charge, the titles they wish to sell (or not sell).
Customers could have an item shipped to a store, or delivered to an address.
A store could even run a subscription service (although stores would prefer customers visit the shop). Maybe they offer a discount or special incentive for customers to pick up the comics at the store…
Diamond moves more product.
Stores sell more product with minimal risk.
Stores compete online with everyone else.
Minimal cost and maintenance for the comics shop. (Automated website.)
Stores discover new product lines to sell in store.
Stores can use their website as a customer service tool, just like the big box stores! (“Here… let me check if we can order that for you…”)
Geez… this could have been done fifteen years ago! 1997, to be exact.
The comic shops in my region are not known for pushing the envelope, or thinking outside the (long) box. They are catalogue centres, with a few sad copies of the top ten comics on the shelf. I would not expect more of them. Frankly, I am usually ahead of them in knowing what’s coming out.
Sad indeed, when a customer is your advisor but walks away unappreciated for his donations.
Stores run by managers with vision will find a way to make a living from comics and other products, whether they are bought or rented.
