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.

I read another post earlier saying the display had 24 books in it. Even with the horrible placement of the book they had sold over half of them.

When I first went in I had not planned to purchase it that day, but after going on a scavanger hunt for it felt obliged to buy one for the cause.

"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."

Other have said the same -- there's no ploy. Book stores are in business to make money and they make money by selling books. They would not hide a book or deny they had any when you're standing there with fresh green cash. In fact, they'd be glad to sell you as many as you want.
