Interesting article about the state of Christian Retailers and the effect of e-publishing as well as internet downloading on the sales and popularity of their stores and books. CBA is making a focused effort to curb the loss in sales by programs geared toward their members to help boost sales and get up-to-date with the digital age--- CHECK IT OUT!
