I bugged a manager to lemme order it for the shelves, and we finally did. Not sure it ever actually sold, though. :-P<br /><br />But that's another thing. Borders, at least (and I think B&N in the U.S. too), *can* order a lot of the books it doesn't bother to carry. Not sure about Chapters.Glaukôpishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021360723399801160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1168276972866067992007-01-08T12:22:00.000-05:002007-01-08T12:22:00.000-05:00Destroying uncirculated books??

So odd...its like some sick form of retribution...I can just picture some board member stomping on a poor helpless book..."dare to take up room on our shelves, eh??

When I saw Agnes Grey at Borders just a few weeks after reading your Search for Agnes Grey post, I got bought it at once, at recently did the same with The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1168054667645799892007-01-05T22:37:00.000-05:002007-01-05T22:37:00.000-05:00Glad you are getting settled and back to blogging ...Glad you are getting settled and back to blogging - I have missed you - in your moves . . .<BR/><BR/>It is sad indeed that libraries are forced to bow to popular culture - I first read Jane when I was in high school and it was required that I "pick" from a list of english classics . . . but it's been one of my favorite books ever since. Any Library that removes it from their shelves is stupid, indeed . . .<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to share that both my daughers have read and enjoyed it since (ages 25 and 17) - - -<BR/><BR/>happy new year friend,<BR/><BR/>lawAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
