Someone in my local Barnes & Noble has a sense of humor...

I was in there yesterday between appointments, just killing some time and "fondling books" as Mrs. Arbusto says.

In any case, I saw one of the bargain book displays, and something caught my eye.

On eof the books there was "How to Draw Hell Beasts" and it had a very Dungeons-and-Dragons looking monster on the front cover. Real nightmare fuel. Right next to this book on the display was one of Ann Coulter's older titles (for $2.99. HAH!). I cannot believe this was total happenstance.

1. I used to be a bookwench there

one of the supervisors would sometimes put the Bible in Fiction

8. When I was in college the bookstore manager used to do stuff like that

For example, Vanilla Ice's (remember him?) autobiography came out my junior year of college. First, the manager put it in ethnic studies. Then it moved to literature. I'm not sure where it ended up eventually.

9. Humor? That would be appropriate...

2. Just FYI they are a good company They extend benefits to domestic partners

and pay their employees more than Borders.

7. I should buy from them more.

But I have a good friend who works at Amazon and that kinda tilts the balance.

3. I've been guilty of inverting all the Ann Coulter books at my B&N.

As in having their page side face out.

11. I do that in any book store I visit.

4. As a former B&N bookseller/shelver I can assure you...

...that while the rest of the shelves are planogrammed (layout set by corporate) I have no doubt that this was a creative bookseller at work in the bargain section. We used to make our sly political statements that way when I worked there - our little subversive move for our red red neighborhood. :)
