Comments on: Why I Really Hate Barnes & Noble https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=804 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Joe Bradarich https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=804&cpage=1#comment-33521 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:22:25 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=804#comment-33521 Eric,

Generally share your position on B&N, that is why I was pleasantly surprised to learn of its place on the shelves at the least likely of five stores in the greater ST Louis area. Membership and an additional 15% discount prodded me to check again and lo and behold! Since I just reverted back to and finished “Gettysburg 101” that Coddington wrote some years ago(I had a three year burn-out hiatus from reading on the campaign) I thought your book would be a good linkage to his interpretation of events 7/4-7/14.Looking forward to it., best regards, JB

With all due respect, if I wanted your opinion, I would have asked for it. And I have no recollection of asking for it.

Eric

You obviously are mistaken as to why you’re book wasn’t on the shelf. BTW — every B&N store has limited space for inventory. It appears they do not have enough shelves to fill your ego.

I too accessed the B&N website and found many of your titles. They also have a search stores location feature which show the title you referenced as being available at my local store in Mansfield and in Columbus at the Polaris store.

The Civil War section was primarily devoted to the aforementioned Lincoln and slavery subjects with the obligatory Chamberlain titles since this is Maine afterall. OCF wasn’t on the shelf but was at least in their database and was listed as being available in their Bangor and Boston locations.

I understand that shelf space to accommodate Miley Cyrus’ biography caused American history titles to be “temporarily removed” at most all the major chains. While only Lincoln titles and “Black Confederate” titles seem to get much shelf space in the history section, the major chains continue to stock H.L. Mencken and George Orwell. This may be a cautionary on the part of some deviant intellectual in the corporate hierarchies of the big retail book sellers.

Don’t lose heart Eric, the “Hannah Montana” thing will surely run its course by the time the sesquicentennial rolls around (it is hoped).

Yours Truly,
Dan

If it’s a book I don’t want to buy online (usually only because I don’t want to wait) I buy from my local independent bookstore. I see no reason to support the mammoth corporations who are the sole reason that good bookstores are all but extinct.

I am amazed that I have yet to see the book on any store shelf here in southeast Michigan — and I’m in all the chain stores on a fairly regular basis. Frankly, it’s become my general observation that if an ACW book does not have something to do with Lincoln, Gettysburg, or slavery, it stands little chance of ever seeing the light of day on chain store shelves.

Fight.” at our Borders here in Fredericksburg. They carry a lot of Savas-Beatie books. However, our Civil War section has been cut down to one side of the history section.
