There are still bookstores? Why?
Can’t have America look good. We stole the land you know.
Isn’t it classical fascism when large corporations censor for the secular state?
Because the company is run by traitors.
You can easily buy it on line and get free delivery
Many years ago (before I decided that Ann Coulter was not worth paying attention to) I went to a Barnes and Noble and looked for her new book. It was a bestseller. It was #1 on Amazon. I figured I’d pick up a copy. Couldn’t find it.
I asked at their help desk. “Oh, we don’t carry that. It’s not popular.” I pointed out that it was on the NYT best seller list. The guy said he could order it for me. It would be in the store in ... about 6 weeks. I explained that Amazon will get it to me in two days and walked away.
A lot of businesses sacrifice profits in favor of do-gooder political ideology.
Reminds me of when I went to Barnes and Nobel to buy one of Rush Limbaugh’s books.
I knew it was selling very well, but I couldn’t find it in the Bestseller section, so I asked a clerk who appeared to me to probably be a little light in the loafers. He said, “Tck. There’s a huge stack of them over here (in another section). I don’t know why they bought so many copies!” There was another guy who overheard this. So, we all went over there to this “huge stack” and there were exactly 2 copies left. I bought one and the guy who overheard bought the other one.
Making such a decision to avoid displaying a product in high demand would require someone of significant responsibility in the company. We see stories like this frequently, but the “reporters” never do the real reporting of tracking down the decision maker or makers and asking them “Why?”. I would like to know their names, the positions they hold, and the reason for the decision. If they say it is in response to some “company policy” I’d like to see the exact wording of that policy, how long it has been in place, and what other books (by author and title) were similarly buried.
But there’s almost no real reporting done any more.
I very much enjoyed his book, “Is Atheism Dead.”
Barnes and Noble sell a pitiful amount of books. In fact, most of their books end up in the dumpster out back - seen it many many times. Why? People come there to browse and have a latte, maybe a cookie to at the cafe. If they buy books it is overwhelmingly audio books on Amazon. Also most books are bought on Amazon. Cheaper. Free shipping. And the fat dudes don’t have to be tempted by the cookies.
If I were an author I wouldn’t worry much about the lack of a bookstore reseller. They’ll make more money selling on Amazon anyway.
I walked into a Barnes & Noble yesterday. I asked the soy-boy pointy tail clerk if They had Trumps new book on Immigration Policy. He looked at me and shouted, “Get the f*ck out and don’t come back!” I said, “Yeah, that’s the one! Do you have it in paperback?”
It’s on Amazon, 400 or so reviews as of now.
Sometimes, it may get down to a simple answer, for Barnes & Noble, the book wasn't selling well.
Twenty five years ago I was already getting a vibe the Barnes & Noble was becoming a hook up spot for leftists with it's prominent new age and occult section along with the coffee shop.
I haven't bought the book but if I wanted to, I wouldn't know where to go for a traditional book store like barnes & Noble.
I would just buy it off Amazon.
Had not heard of this book...I love Metaxis books...will buy 2...at Amazon
Eric Metaxas’s bestselling book needs to be prominently displayed by every bookstore! It is shameful to hide the book because it emphasizes the Christian faith of the Founders.
Some Founding Fathers were even Lutheran!
