Barnes & Noble has decided to stock copies of “If I Did It” in stores as well as selling the book online. Initially, it had claimed that lack of customer demand was keeping it from the retail shelves. Since the announcement a few weeks ago of the publication of the book, Beaufort Books has received 116,000+ pre orders.

1. 1	by Karen Scott August 31st, 2007 at 9:58 am I wondered how long it would be before they succumbed to the pull of the almighty dollar. Reply

2. 2	by Ann Bruce August 31st, 2007 at 8:11 pm Frankly, I think the family succumbed to the almighty dollar. B&N is a business and owes it to their shareholders to increase their share value. Reply
