Do USA bookstores look like this nowadays?

What I meant was the For Dummies series on the top shelf.
1) Sophisticated people, like some GNU/Linux users, don't buy books.
2) Brick-and-mortar bookstores are vanishing and rare. Most books
are purchased through on-line vendors, and thus the few remaining brick-and-mortar shops will only stock junk titles.
3) The "For Dummies" series of books are actually quite advanced
and comprehensive. I suppose that the "For Dummies" title is just
a marketing gimmick.
