A few retailers have made a go of going global.
The retailer made a loss of £45.7m in the six months to 29 October, compared with £27.4m the previous year.
How can the retailer make sure this doesn't happen again?
If the retailer doesn't make a profit, he may go out of business.
He told them that publishers and retailers would both make more money if books cost less.
Many retailers make it clear that they don't want to cut prices.
And these retailers often do not make good on the lower prices they promise.
If people buy more, that simply allows nearby retailers to make greater use of existing space.
The game industry says retailers should make their own choice.
That of course depends on whether foreign press and retailers will make London their first stop.
