I started shouting in the Wichita Barnes and Noble the other day.
I normally keep my cool in public, but this lady set me off.
I asked her about when she would have it in. She then read a statement she had that it was published by a publisher known for publishing "books with a definite right-wing bent" and that it would not be published until Aug 15.
Let me tell you.......that just set me off. Especially because right next to it on the desk were these anti-Bush bumper stickers in a booklet.
I just ripped into her.....people started staring at my yelling about how they stuck all the liberal books at front and then dare to attack Regenery and claiming to be non-partisan while having anti-Bush bumper stickers on the customer service desk for sale.
I am sorry.....I exploded very quickly.
Amazon still says the publishing date is not until Aug 15, but then how the heck is it already out? It was supposedly out last week and members of the general public are getting copies.
Go back to the store and write down a few titles from the "Gay and Lesbian" section of your store. Then write a nice letter to the editor about how it's OK to have "Joys of Gay Sex for Teenagers" on the shelves, but a book about Kerry, written by 60 vets who knew him or about him makes the bookstore staffs uncomfortable.
We need to all challenge them like that.
