"Its publisher, Regnery Publishing Inc., won't have more books available until later this week, and that order also will not be able to meet demand, Barnes & Noble CEO Steve Riggio said in a release. "
"The fact is Regnery has not been able to keep up with customer demand for this title," he said. "Further, the publisher cut our original order for the book in half. We've been put in the difficult position of having to defend ourselves over a title we can't seem to get enough copies of from the publisher." |

From other comments I've read concerning Barnes and Noble, my BSometer is registering now
Last I heard, the book can be ordered directly from Regnery with no problems. _________________ Clark County Conservative |

NEW YORK A book critical of Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry's service in Vietnam is selling out.
Barnes and Noble -- the nation's largest book-store chain -- says the publisher of "Unfit for Command" won't have more books available until the end of the week.
Barnes and Noble says it's receiving thousands of complaints from Republican and Democratic critics accusing it of both favoring and suppressing the book. The chain's C-E-O says it has "no political agenda."
"Unfit for Command" accuses Kerry of lying about his decorated wartime record and betraying comrades by returning from Vietnam and alleging widespread atrocities by U-S troops.
Several of Kerry's battlemates have attacked the book as inaccurate. They says it's politically motivated to help President Bush's re-election bid.

I would love to see "Unfit for Command" outsell Bill Clinton's book. |
