Most telling comment

Following on from the discounting question, particularly of Tony B's autobiography, this comment in the bookseller has to be the most telling:

By Bored Bookseller

I'm quite bored of havign to move the Blair book from our crime section... if you ARE going to try and make that kind of statement, at least have the common sense tp move it to the 'True Crime' section rather than into crime fiction. Tsk. Anyway, our most frequent conversation is trying to explain why the book is ALREADY half-price.

Unsuitable?

If you want to read the article the comment is on, here it is.

Publishers are doing no one (not even the consumer) any favours by selling books half price just as they come onto the market. It makes people suspect it's not worth full price. And it certainly doesn't help people trying to make a living out of selling books.
