Is this a local ban by Borders, or is it nationwide?

Another thread is reporting that the publisher is busy with another printing, so it's not the publisher. I called my Borders and they're sold out; the manager didn't know anything about a recall like this but, she said, if headquarters asked for a recall, they will comply. I have the scissors next to my Borders credit card, waiting for confirmation.

Hello,

There is no ban at Borders. They are simply out of books, and are selling them as fast as they receive them. I work at the corporate office and can verify that Borders is trying it's best to keep the shelfs full. When the book is in it's displayed at the Front of Store at 30%off.

Anyone who has worked for a Fortune 500 company knows the pressures of making quarterly earnings. Borders would not throw money out the window, especially on a book as big as this, just to make a political point. It would be suicide for the directors and VPs, especially in this difficult selling environment.

While some of the book sellers may be left leaning, I can assure you that the people running the company are not.

My Borders store said they had it but were sold out. I wonder if they had like two books or something. I can't find it anywhere here in San Diego. Keep it up, bookstores, by October it will be the most sought after book in the Country.

I picked mine up at Borders in West Des Moines last night after reserving it. The clerk said he couldn't believe how fast they were flying out of there and they went through the lastest shipment in a couple hours.

No, this is a case of the store manager in each Borders handling UfC differently, and some are basing their decision on their political view. It's a store by store thing.
