As of Monday 8/23/04 the Borders bookstore in Davis, CA was sold out of the eight copies of "Unfit for Command" that was in-transit to the store on the previous Friday.
On their service desk sits a large sign as follows:
Unfit for Command is our #1 non-fiction bestseller
Copies of it are very difficult to obtain
Please reserve your copy now
Davis is the home of UC Davis and is like Berkeley light. The Borders store is about 100 yards from the UC Davis campus. The liberals there must be going nuts!
Are they having a book burning tonight?
This is hard to believe.
HA. My wife's stepbrother is a Professor of Climatology at U. Davis and has drunk the Global Warming Kool-Aid a while ago.
That must be hilarious to see.
At least that store has a sign offering to reserve the book for customers. That's more than my local Borders has done to accommodate the customer. In Border's in-store computer system, the book is listed as "Available" in such and such a section, but when you go there, no book in sight.
The Borders inventory check (both in-store and from my home computer) has been saying the book's available for a week now, even though I'm on a wait list and have heard nothing yet. I'm assuming that the book would not be listed as available unless the wait list had been taken care of first. I'm not saying there's a conspiracy, but the inventory check is meaningless. Even the clerks don't bother checking it.
Are you sure that these 8 copies in Davis, CA were actually sold to, say, 8 (or 7) customers - or were bought wholesale on behalf of one Theresa H. Kerry or some other similar life form?
I actually have fond memories of the place; do you live there now?
LOL! The Barnes & Noble in midtown Manhattan (near Rockefeller Center) has been selling at a rate of 40 per day -- and they have to get daily shipments!
The book was even prominently displayed in the window of the B&N in the heart of the East Village, which makes Bezerkly look like Crawford, Texas! :)
In my local Borders (Wall Street), they smirked when I asked for it and claimed that they'd just sold out of it 10 minutes earlier.
It is a refreshing experience, and have done it many times.
Somehow the order got 86'd, and never showed up.
rats love to work for bookstores.
The city Human Relations Commission tried to get the Boy Scouts permanently banned from all city and school facilities. That about says it all.
P.S. They failed after a big fight. Thus, Berkeley light.
Heh, heh, after tonight things should really heat up, it was all the buzz on all the talk shows.
I'll go to my local Sam's etc. & report back on what I see locally.
Makes one wonder!

Read this afternoon that Barnes & Noble is the third largest contributor to the Kerry campaign. Need anything else be said?
