I really hate this

Fantasy and science fiction being cramped in the same section, which is already so small :(

It will never change because every inventory and marketing system in the world has had SFF hardcoded as a category since the very moment we figured out how to store data electronically.

It has semi changed in my local bookstore!!

They have them seperated by wedging a young adult section between the two of them.

With a nice bonus asside from fantasy now being a official fantasy only shelf they also have this amazing little sub-category called "romantasy".
