Our Smith's doesn't seem to know quite what it is for, doesn't seem to quite cover anything as fully as its competitors on the same street do, and I personally virtually never buy anything from it. (Apols to the person reading this who works in Smith's - no offence to it, the ambience is nice and their goods decent and they staff fairly friendly and helpful, I just don't happen to go in it much). So, I'm not sure...it's probably safe in places that don't have too many other book/card/magazine/art/stationery shops but not in places that do.
