The returns policy is messed up, but I don't see it changing very quickly.Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-9114650269393112872011-10-20T22:33:13.782-05:002011-10-20T22:33:13.782-05:00It works at BnN occasionally.

They don't mind having 3 books of some small independent publisher's book on the shelf, they just won't keep it around long.Danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043881305977386629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-42675392498357681502011-10-19T19:58:18.855-05:002011-10-19T19:58:18.855-05:00I love our indie bookstore, too!!

One of the managers told me it's nice to get recommendations from customers because they get sent a lot of ARCs and it sometimes can be overwhelming.Paul Grecihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340974339238587138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-69222721223745261692011-10-19T16:56:21.105-05:002011-10-19T16:56:21.105-05:00Love my indie bookstore.

Also I feel like I can ask them about a book and they are genuinely interested in why it's a good book and why they should have it in stock.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226974782422398270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-9261943975050754832011-10-19T11:47:38.399-05:002011-10-19T11:47:38.399-05:00Yahong, you are a genius!!

I'm sure they would though, as long as you're recommending good books.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.com
