Letter Re: A Book Shopping Experience

Mr. Rawles:
I just picked up your latest novel “Survivors” [1] today at my local Barnes and Noble store.  Surprisingly, they had it prominently displayed on their “New Arrivals” display table!  Some time back, I had them order “Patriots” [2] for me.  You would have thought I asked them to give me their only kidney.  How times have changed. 
 
I dearly love the disgusted, displeased look on the tattooed, goth, über-liberal checkout girl’s face when I make my purchases.  It’s why I still buy my reading material in the store. 
 
Love your work and the blog.  Thanks for your efforts! – Bill in Florida

JWR Replies: I should remind all SurvivalBlog readers to please give retailers other than just Amazon some business.   Although I used Amazon ranking as a benchmark for tracking the recent Book Bomb Day, there are other vendors that deserve some biz, including Barnes and Noble [3].  And for those of us that like to support local “Mom and Pop” bookstores, check out IndieBound.org [4].
