Thanks Petrea - I just don't know:)

Drmabuse -every time you write to me here or at Twitter I am once again reminded how special you are. Yours is so much the better attitude to have. I'm sorry we didn't get to actually talk at Bouchercon!

Sadly John, no - if you read my comment above yours - you're seeing BN choosing to show some of the bestsellers and some of the individual titles on their own but only in very limited quantities and not on display in the manner that S&S was willing to pay for. At the BN site you can see our books don't even have rankings and if one of the stores had some of these books but sold their copies and you try to have them order it - you'll find they won't order it for you except for home delivery.

Stork - Jodi's book is in most BN stores - but not in normal quantities and not on display in the way it was supposed to be. In fact many the top NYT bestsellers published by S&S are in the stores - just in much smaller quantities. BN has cut orders as much as 90% or more on titles And they are not offering display space. For instance, there were at least 100 BN stores that had one copy of my The Book of Lost Fragrances - but they were spine out on a back shelf instead of 100s of stores that were supposed to have had a pile of 6 books in the front of the store where people might see them. And if someone comes in and buys that one copy my book, that's it - the book is on a "do not reorder list". In the past if it sold it would be re-ordered. So now if that one copy sells - my book is no longer in the store and not visible. Most of the books on this list are among the hardest hit. Some more than others.

Thank you BooksintheBurbs!!!! And Laura and Lady!

I hope you all win but you can take the books out of the library if you don't win them:)
