Have no sympathy for the lefty groups / outfits that want to shove socialism in our faces. Notice every time you go into those BN stores - the lefty authors are all in prominent places? That’s why I stopped going there. I will NOT promote or support left leaning in your face stores.

It’s kind of like the lefty newspapers all going down hill or look at the success of the liberal talk show hosts. All I can say is HA HA. you reap what you sow. How foolish for these folks to think conservatives will continue to support such dribble.

I learned that this issue has more to do with the nature of the book selling business and the publishing industry, and its demographics, than it does political sentiments of the book sellers or their managers.

It is a business after all; and the publishing business is dominated by Liberals and the book selling business has a small segment (very small) of their “bricks and mortar” revenue from selling the right to have your books placed prominently, particularly with newer released works. Thus the predominantly Liberal publishers pay the book seller more if the book seller gives their new book a good placement. The politics of the publisher may tend to be Liberal, the process in showing the books in the store is primarily a business process.

Maybe a better question is why do not more Conservatives go into the publishing and media businesses, by which they would also pay to have their works given good placement at the bricks and mortar book stores (which actually does happen from time to time) ??
