Here is an account from my trip to the local book stores (Marlaton, N.J.)yesterday.

Talk about Book War's!!!!!!! My first stop was the local Borders Book Store. Of course Hillary's book was very prominately displayed.

I began to search in various parts of the store attemping to find the latest Coulter book. After about 10 minutes I found three copies of it tucked between some other books stacked rather high.

At this point my rightous anger got the best of me so, getting extra copies of Treason and another of Dereliction Of Duty, I looked for a nice visable place to put them. Treason looked lovely in its new position in front of the Michael Moore book. Dereliction of Duty found a very prominent place in front of Living History.

With my anger abated I left with a copy of Tammy's Bruces, The Thought Police, Inside the Left's Assault on Free Speech and Free Minds.

Now it was off to Barnes and Noble. This was even worse than Borders. There were 65 copies of Hillary's book lying on the floor right next to the Information Desk, and another 15 right in front of the doors as you entered. Off I was again hunting to find where they had stashed away Anne's book. After a 10 minute search through Current Events, Politics, Recent Releases I gave up and went to the Information Desk.

When I was finally asked if they could help me, I told them I have been looking through the store and could not find any copies of Treason. At first he looked at me and said, "It has not been released yet." I informed him that he was released last week and he began to check the computer. At this point a very nice woman behind me spoke up and said, "Yes, it is out, it is number 2 on Amazon."

That seemed to clear the guys mind and he said, "Oh yes, I remember where it is." He then lead me and the lady behind me to where they had placed them, It was a small display with room for about 20 copies (only 10 were left.) The thing is the display was behind the barriers at the check out area. The only way it was visable was if you had already purchased your books and were leaving.

I commmented on the positioning of the book as I and the other woman took copies of the book. He gave me a bit of a dirty look as I walked away.

here is my experience visiting Borders in South Bend Indiana.
I walk in and immediately see a display of new releaes with Hillary's face all over the place. I look around for about a minute..then go over to another table on new releases looking for TREASON. About a minute later a saleperson asks me if she could help me find something. I mentioned Ann Coulter's book

She replies, "Oh she has been on TV a lot and we have had a run on them. I could take your name." I said, "No, that's ok"
Then she made the offer a second time then pointed out another sales person who was standing beside the Ann Coulter Display and said,
"She has been working with the display, she would know more about if we have any more copies"

As i was walking over to where she was I saw at the end of the table one copy of TREASON and pointed it out to the salesperson who said, "It looks like the last copy"

I grabbed it and as I was making my way to the register I overheard her talking to another patron, "He has the last copy, but I could take your name..."

I smiled as i made my way and wondered if it was in fact that they had sold out or if it was a ploy to make it harder to purchase the book.

And the liberals complain about Rush on the Radio!!!
Looks to me like they run the book stores 100% in demo favor. And still the demos whine,whine whine about how their message is not getting across.

All I know is.........do not shop in malls if you want to keep your blood pressure in a moderate reading.

If you do decide to go to the mall for "Treason" be prepared for liberal hell!

Of course, you can make a big stink about the placing of 'Treason' if you will!?!

Forget the mall. Shop a small independent bookstore, where real intellectuals lurk!
