How can I stand in front of a magazine rack and misunderstand what I am NOT

even talked to two different clerks about it who told me the buyers decided
to remove the magazines.
The Brookfield, Wisconsin store has removed ALL magazines relating to
Microsoft technologies. The other Barnes & Noble store I also go into at
Mayfair in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin has lso cut back big time -- Microsoft
genre -- or has also removed ALL Microsoft magazines as well. I have to
check to see if the Mayfair store has taken the final plunge and removed ALL
magazines related to the Microsoft genre. According to the clerk in the
Brookfield store th stores in the region are removing ALL the magazines
related to the Microsoft genre.

That's a BIG mistake.
I wonder how that will affect Barnes and Noble's Wisconsin sales.
I bet that sales percentage for Microsoft-related technology books
far outweighs the combined sales of other computing technology-related books.
With a market penetration of around 90%, the move to ban MS books
seems foolhardy, at least in relation to inventory movement.
People will still, even if B & N removes the books, need them.
They'll just buy them somewhere else.
The B & N clients will let them know, no doubt.

Why don't you just subscribe to the magazine? You're paying way too much
$$$ by buying directly off the newstand. If you want to puruse a magazine,
many allow you to receive a first issue free and "CANCEL" when the bill
comes.
I have about 12 computer related magazine subscriptions.. . 4-5 from UK and I
seldom buy anything from newstand.
