Lots of grumbling from lots of members about problems getting the books. I for one will never ever shop in Borders again. I had to special order from Barnes & Noble to get the books AND it took five of us going into the store at one time to get it done.

No way it wasnt just problems gettng the books. The only place I could get them was from Barnes & Noble. Every RS fan should totally boycott Borders. Borders sucks!!

You dont have to tell me about it I know. I won't step foot in another Borders. I'm not buying books from large commercial publishers any more either.

Doesn't surprise me theres a big effort to squeeze out small publishers. The practice is not only anti competitive it's justplain wrong. Anye intersted in joining the anti commercial publishers league let meknow we have over 800 members.

I make it a point to look for small pressand indie stuff. The big publishers are so bias and wouldn't know good books if there hit in the haed with them. I don't buy many books from big publishers any more. If there's a book I have to read I get it from the library.

I'm with you on the Borders boycott huntress. If a store doesn't carry the authors whose books I buy I don't shop there.

If I order the book from BN will I have them?
And what is Borders? I was irritated by Amazon's delay of the books. I'm truly disgusted by the news about the big publishers. It is a very bad sign about the situation in bookselling and democracy overall.
Lets make a petition to amazon. Another cool idea will be a special on-line bookshop of Reagent Press.

Yes, it's true, but I think that only BN sells them.
