Books and Blockheads

Barnes & Noble is stocking a reasonable number of copies of Ron Paul’s The Revolution: A Manifesto, though still not enough. But Borders and Books A Million seem to have decided to stock (I am not kidding) one copy per store. How high does the thing have to get on Amazon before they behave sensibly? Amazon is laughing all the way to the bank thanks to their stupidity.

Maybe these stores need to hear from Ron Paul supporters.

UPDATE: I may have been too hasty here; one reader says the local Borders has the book on display, and six copies on stock. That’s still not enough, but better than one. Another reader writes:

“The Bill Clinton “Giving” book and the Stuart Taylor/KC Johnson book “Until Proven Innocent” both came out September 4, 2007. As I recall, most Borders stores in the Detroit, MI area did not have the Duke book at all, but each store had a massive table with about 75 copies of “Giving” staring everyone in the face as they walked in the door.

“Isn’t Borders in some serious financial trouble? Market failure, eh?”
