LITERATURE: Sales

I should, I suppose, follow up directly with corporate on this, but I’m unhappy enough to post this anyway.

I do not intend to support Borders by buying books there.  I had asked the local store if they would like to offer otto for sale, as it is a literary journal of the college-based writers group that is only maybe seven or eight miles away, and their corporate policy is against doing this.  For cryin’ out loud–they’re a book store!  One more book, produced by members of their community, among the thousands they sell is going to kill them? If they don’t wish to help the community, I see no real reason for the community to support them.  This is another case of the big guy putting the little shops out of business, then not giving anything back to the community except tax dollars. 

I’ll deal with Amazon.com.
