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.

Thanks for the info. What does the corp. office have to say about any local store managers who might refuse to carry it?

Yes..this maybe the corporate end of the deal...but what about your employees that see fit to harass the customers because of their personal bias. What is being done about them???????
