Ann Coutler's new book Hidden and undersold by BORDERS-Hiilary all over the store

Posted on 06/27/2003 9:45:55 AM PDT by mandingo republican

Just went to Borders on Broadway near Wall Street in New York City to buy Treason by Ann Coutler. Only 8 copies of her book were displayed on a stand to the side that wasn't even facing the door. When I bought it - it was 30% off I got a dirty look by the pretty Gen Xy college student cashier. She even made a point to check the back of my credit card to see if the signatures matched up - they seldom do that.

On the other hand - Hillary's book was displayed all over the palce! In the front in the back, on carts EVERYwhere! There were hundreds of Hillary books strategically placed all over - when you walked in you were faced with a wall of Hillary!

The bias will never end!

David Letterman asked his audience how many people were reading the book.

The audience and him burst out laughing because there was maybe 5 people clapping in the entire audience.

It wasn't about child custody, it was about turning a book around at a bookstore.

I wish I could have been watching Lettermen when that happened. I think I'll go to my local Barnes and Noble, see how many of hills books need "turning around".

I just hate having to see that womans face staring out at me from a book rack. . . .

Isn't the disparity in display simply because the publisher or distributer were willing to pay more to have hillary's book displayed?

A book doesn't gets a coveted spot near the front of the store for free or just because it sells well.

Find another book store and register your complaint with the management.

No, don't waste your time. The local manager doesn't care. If they did, the conservative books would already be getting equal placement with the liberal books. Instead, call the local store and get the name of the DISTRICT MANAGER. (Lie and say you want to write a letter letting them know about how caring and helpful one of their employees was.)

Then write (or even better, call) the district manager and let them know the sort of shenanigans going on at your local outlet. The local manager only has to worry about sales at his/her own store, and won't mind ordering the staff to hide certain books behind the counter as long as the store's overall profit quota is met. The district manager, however, is concerned with maximizing profits across the board and will flip out if he/she finds out some pissant local manager is driving away 30-50% of their potential customers due to petty political hatreds, and will take action.

Waldens had Ann's book today displayed with the other new releases. All of the others were discounted, except Ann's. Isn't that just a coincidence.

Perhaps local chapters of FR should stand outside those stores where the hiding is being done with appropriate signs about the "best seller that this store does not want you to read." Little maps of the hidden locations could be handed out for each hiding store. The local publicity would be helpful.

I just ordered mine yesterday from Amazon, along with 3 other books. They gave me free shipping, a good price and no tax! And they shipped it this morning. If the government ran as efficiently as Amazon.com, we wouldn't need an income tax.

Okay, Freepers.

Here's your assignment.

Go into your local bookstores.

FIND Ann Coulter's book, TREASON

PUT copies of Ann's book on top of
Hillary's "Lieing History" books.

Leave with a smile on your face!

Love your work! That's the way to do it.

A little sabotage of the bookshelves.

What fun!

It's not against the law to put a book on top of Hillarys!

But it could be...

Once Hillary becomes President!

There were hundreds of Hillary books strategically placed all over

If there are that many there .. my guess is they aren't selling as fast as they claim

As them what it is about Ms Coulter's book that frightens them so.

[PS: It's the Truth. That's what most terrifies them, poor things]
