"A lot of folks would love to thumb through "Treason" as well (without ever purchasing it). My gripe is that customers (or potential buyers) shouldn't have to look longer to find "Treason" than "Living History". "

I'll look in our store here this weekend and see how easy it is to find. If it's not with all the other best sellers, I'll say something. I wanted to go buy it anyhow. And for everyone else, paying book listed price instead of a discount price isn't going to get Ann any more money. The discount price is lowering how much the store makes a profit on the book. (someone correct me if i'm wrong on this) If the store is hiding the book and not discounting it then that is all the more reason to make a fuss and get them to discount it like the rest of the best sellers.

There are a few cities, places that cannot get away with hiding the book (reasons in parentheses): bn.com (you can't "pull" anything on the web site -- the audience is too large; you'd never get away with it). New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington D.C. brick-and-mortar B&N stores (see above -- audience too large to pull anything and get away with it)
