Regarding Politico's bookshop I also liked the shop and sometimes went out of my way to go there. It stocked periodicals like the European Journal and These Tides as well as lots of obsucre political pamphlets & books not available elsewhere.
However my strong understanding of the facts of the closure was that the landlord increased the rent by a very large amount which made it impossible for the shop to continue so thus it moved onto the internet only. So it was neither a failure nor sold as has been said here.
