I don't about where you live. But in N. California trying to buy a conservative book was harder to do than to run on water.

So whenever I buy a conservative book or any book from Amazon.com, I send a copy of the order to the two left wing owned or managed book stores in my area. There used to be 3 and now there are two. The independent is in shaky financial shape, and the rent has gone up very high on the corporate store.

One of these left wing idiots asked me what I would do when there were no book stores here. I laughed and said "Whats the down side, here!" I will continue to get my purchased books from Amazon.com and other books.com and go to the library for my other books when the liberal book stores pull an Enron!

I call this guy an idiot as he will never change and say, "I will carry the books you want and match Amazon's price." Lefties are so arrogant and unused to competition, that they are becoming a vanishing specie.

Keep after 'em ... take it to 'em. Your idea is something we should spread far and wide ... the power of the free market.

Bookstores that ignore 50+% of the population go out of business or they do poorly.

It's hard to be impressed with people who think they're so smart but do things this stupid.

I had a similar experience to yours some time back when I was looking for the book "How I Accidentally joined the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy." The bookstore owner pushed up his liberal nose and said "no, he didn't carry that type of book," and I congratulated him on being so successful he didn't need to provide books to almost 60% of the people in our area. There was not a touch of sarcasm in my voice, and he was forced to say "thank you" even though it was obvious his store was struggling. Nice guy, but as brain dead as Dan Rather or CNN... What fools.
