Fifty years ago, book shops didn't have separate sections for science fiction. Now they have large sections.

I can't speak to fifty years ago, but I can tell you that 47 years ago Bookland, a smallish and not extremely ambitious bookstore in a suburb of Wilmington, Delaware definitely did have a science fiction section.
