I have to correct my earlier post and say that I actually bought the book at Borders, I always think it is a Barnes and Noble.

Anyhow, after your post, I decided to call the store manager and let her know about my experience.

At first she felt he was only trying to make me aware about the problems with the book, at which point I asked if they made buyers aware of allegations of impropriety with all of the books that are sold, and wouldn't that get rather tedious, as there are challenges with a lot of books. Went on to ask if they warned people that were buying the book from the Oprah Winfrey book club, you know the author that pretty much lied about the whole book.

The answer was no and, "I see your point." She gave me an apology for my experience, and I said that an apology was not necessary, I just wanted to find out if management condoned employees discouraging a purchase on unproven allegations coming out of the very leftist Berkley California.

Also told her that what her employee was doing was very unfair to the author, as it has not been proven and that there were actually others in the press stepping forward to say that they found nothing to support those charges. She promised to discuss this situation with the employee and make sure that it doesn't happen in the future.
