Two sources on the same topic:
Source 1 (from a 2019 investigative article by Yusra Malik): "Between 2010 and 2018, the number of independent bookstores in the United States increased by 49 percent, from 1,651 to 2,470 locations. Analysts have called it a 'renaissance.'"
Source 2 (from a 2022 essay by publishing historian Dean Ashworth): "The much-touted revival of the independent bookstore rests on a numerical sleight of hand. The 2010 figure — often cited as a baseline — followed a decade of catastrophic closures. Measured against 1995, the current number of stores represents a decline of nearly 40 percent. A recovery from a trough is not the same as a return to health."
A student is writing a paper on the state of independent bookselling. Which conclusion is best supported by the two sources considered together?
