why would you do that? I’d prefer to show them that it pays to listen to their customers, and that the backlash worked.
Leaving aside that Costco’s top officers are liberals, they ARE businessmen first. It made no sense for the publisher to put the books on the Costco shelves a month before they started their promotional campaign and release of the movie. Costco’s whole business plan is based on high volume. Period.
really? this book has been a selling success since its release on June 2... even though it was a top seller, the NY Times did not include it on their bestsellers list at first--when it should have been there according to sales... many saw this as very curious, suspicious... added to that, the press has not touched this book--even though it is highly popular...
as far as the movie, it has been well-received, generally... except by the media--what a surprise...
there is more to this then business decisions...
