Barnes & Noble is a great company, but like many nationwide businesses it can have some weak spots. I was surfing the internet and I found this site where people can vent about poor customer service or products they received... it can get really funny. I would recommend you to check it out here: http://ventme.com/companies/view/86

This is all very fitting for such a human example of a conspiracy theory...misinformation causing more drama for a book which only 9 exist at one particular store mentioned--all of which cant be sold until NEXT week--and none in the warehouse stock.

Brilliant Beck.

Sounds like Beck. His mind is so addled by years of drug abuse and listening to Orson Welles' 1938 Mercury Theater rendition of World of the Worlds. He is just trying to recareate the highlight of his youth by believing he can re-create the hysteria that once gripped the East Coast immediately before the war. He is so fascinated by this, he has named his new imprint "Mercury Inc," a further indication of his lack of originality and a pattern of self-delusions.

This man is perfectly execrable. I shall never comprehend why Americans listen to, or read, him on any topic.

Don't worry, wingers. If that book isn't available, there are about 300 other conservative books right there in the front of the store for you to gobble up without having to have even one critical thought.

Shouldn't this be in the Comedy section?

Glenn Beck with a goatee looks like Garth Brooks.

Same initials, too... has anyone ever seen these two in the same room?

I dunno, but both of them are STARS! Are you?

beckie-boy is only a star in his own mind. Out here in the real world, not so much.

All I can say about Beck is stupid is as stupid does......
12:49 PM on 08/06/2011
Yeah ljwynn, Beck cries all the way to his 4 million dollar houses becuz you think he is "stupid". :)
08:28 PM on 08/06/2011
It's because Beck has convinced millions that he is worth listening to that he has million dollar houses. It has nothing to do with his stupidity.

I'm sensing a pattern here - why so defensive?
