As local businesses continue to struggle against online retailers, a new piece of French legislation could give local bookstores a fighting chance against their internet-based competitors.

The new law, drafted by French Sen. Laure Darcos, would require local bookstores and online retailers such as Amazon to set a minimum price for book deliveries. As most local bookstores typically charge 5-7 euros ($5.82-$8.15) for shipping a book, the law would force online retailers to charge an equal amount, according to Reuters.
