Barnes and Nobles supports pro-sodomist policies. I'll try to dig up an article from a couple of years ago.
Their political agenda appears to be more important to them than......
The bottom line.

My hobby is hiding the Hildabeast books, either by putting something on top of themm, or turning it around. 8-)
I do this pretty much wherever I go, 'cept Wallyworld.
Did you happen to see the new book Misunderestimated?
That explains a lot, don't it? :)
At my Barnes and Noble they don't even pretend to care. All the anti-Bush books are together on a five foot high standing rack when you walk in. Hannity's book was in a pile on the floor in the back.
Those stores that do place Leftist books in favorable displays are only doing so out of desperation.
Real America will just walk right past their deceitful propaganda and seek out the truth.
To use the President's favorite phrase, GOOD JOB!
I travel frequently and spend A LOT of time in bookstores . . . actually, like you, I spend a lot of time talking with store managers about the biased way in which they display conservative/pro-Bush books AND magazines!!!
As you discovered, these conversations do make a difference!!!
Of course they do.
Bush supporters have JOBS.
I go past a Borders..I will have to go check!
They do the same thing with Michael Kelly's "Things Worth Fighting For". Scumbags
I get angry every time I go in one. The anti-Bush books outnumber Pro books 6-1 it seems.
I've noticed the same thing where I live (S. Florida), the Bush-bashing books are very prominently displayed stacked on tables while the pro-Bush (or generally conservative) books are definitely not as well visible, with only a couple of tokens on the tables.
Authors would probably object to libs playing games with the marketing of their books.
I stopped going to Barnes and Noble when I failed to find a single conservative magazine on their racks, but plenty of liberal ones. I asked the clerk, and she wanted to know if Rush Limbaugh sent me in here to claim that there was some sort of weird conspiracy about their magazines. I found the manager, who told me that if I did not like his magazine selections, I was free to go somewhere else. It was his store, just the way he wanted it.
Two good things have since happened: I shop exclusively at Border's---- altough I doubt their politics are any better, their selection is. Second, this particular Barnes & Noble has closed.
Why is it that when I clicked on your post, I immediately got a pop-up ad for Barnes & Noble?! Seriesly...
Simple sales strategy - marketers place items in the special island displays at the entrance like Barnes or at eye level in grocery stores to encourage impulse buys. They are items that are new or that don't have reliable sales figures. Thus, the consumer needs to be tricked into buying.
However, a product that the marketers know has a guaranteed sale are placed out of impulse reach - the bottom shelves in a grocery store or back on the regular subject shelves in a book store. The customer enters the store already intending to buy this item so no impulse lure is required.
Essentially, pro-Bush books have a guaranteed, regular demand resulting in steady sales so no special marketing tricks are needed....just like tomato soup.
At least B&N CARRIES books from conservatives. One local chain (3 big stores) will not carry conservative books. They go so far as to refuse to hire people who answer the political questions "incorrectly" on their job application.
I noticed long ago the B&N was a left leaning store.Try to buy and order from smaller private stores while there are still a few left.
