Ohio Bookstore Flips Male-Authored Books, Displaying Them Backwards
HeatStreet ^

Posted on 03/05/2017 7:28:44 AM PST by ameribbean expat

To draw attention to female authors, a Cleveland bookstore celebrated Women’s History Month by turning every male-written book in the fiction room backward on its shelf.

Eight of the all-female employees of Loganberry Books went through about 10,000 books, a process that took about two hours. They’ll leave the books turned around for the next two weeks

It’s in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Suburb of Cleveland. High-end ghetto, near Shaker Square.

Heck, why not just sell only books written by female authors? They need to stand up for what they believe in and not stock their shelves with books by males in the first place. Then they can truly see how their sales will be ...

Typical liberal democrat idiots. If that’s how they feel about men, then perhaps they should lose all sales to men. We’ll see how their feminist zeal holds up when they can’t stay in business.

Somebody alert the staff: George Elliot is a girl!

Imagine is some guy owning a bookstore turned all of the women’s books around? I suspect that would qualify as a hate crime.

Because meaningless gestures that dis-respect and irritate 50% of your customer base are so important.

A tactic learned from the Dixie-Chicks book “How To Destroy Your Soaring Careers In One Stupid Move”.

Lesbians have ruined independent bookstores. Books a million is worth the drive.

Impact on the world? Zero

Maybe some increased liquor sales in some Cleveland suburbs
Some poor Cleveland guys getting their own dinner.

Big wh00p

Interesting point. In the grocery industry, major suppliers like cereal companies, beverage distributors buy shelf space to ensure prominent placement. No idea if the publishing industry does likewise.

Let me tell you what I found the other day in the Chandler, AZ Barnes&Noble:

I always go in to sign copies of any of my books they have. I found “A Patriot’s History,” “Seven Events that Made America,” “48 Liberal Lies,” “A Patriot’s History Reader” (1 copy each) and 3 copies of “How Trump Won” and 1 copy of the “Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents.”

All the Patriot’s History/Sentinel books had a little slip of paper inserted somewhere in the book by some jerkweed author I won’t name that said “Warning: this contains bias, blah, blah,” and had a website about “conservativemyths.” I didn’t see any in the PIG or “How Trump Won” copies. I told the store people, who said, “Oh, we hate that when that happens” and removed all papers. I informed my agent, the publishers, and all my co-authors.

Not sure, but I think that might be illegal.

Oh so now it’s “Women’s History Month”

Think there will be much discussion of the negative aspects of “Women’s History” like there always is about “Black History”?

What month will become the whitewashing of “Homosexual History”?

What kind of clientele can they have in any case? Leftists.

Another activity for the ‘too much time on their hands’ file.
