[MountainLaurel]

4. At Borders the other night, it was in Horror

I nearly wet myself when I saw it.

[clyrc]

21. I moved a copy to the Horror section in Borders a few nights ago!

But this was in Dubai so it probably wasn't the same book. I was disappointed that I couldn't put it in the true crime section, but they didn't have one.

5. The insert is cool. Feel free to make your own.

[FLyellowdog]

14. Thanks...Copied photo. :)

[gateley]

6. EXCELLENT! Were you in the process of moving a copy to the same location

by any chance? :evilgrin:

[avaistheone1]

7. I hope everyone who has the opportunity

does so.

[gateley]

9. I plan to make a point of it - and thanks to no_hypocrisy for the insert!! nt

[avaistheone1]

10. I hope to have time to make some of those

Does anyone have a downloadable pdf of it?

[Contrary1]

51. And this one:

C'mon DUers...post some of your own!

[ooglymoogly]

60. Too funny, nt

[chill_wind]

12. Very good. K & R.

[FLyellowdog]

13. I moved copies last week. I like the idea of an insert.nt

[joeybee12]

15. Let's kick and rec this sucker to the greatest page!!!

[cutlassmama]

16. Awesome! Great idea!!!

[Reader Rabbit]

17. There's a Facebook group for this.

48. My picture is on there and on Code Pink's site.

18. Niiiiiice n/t

:shrug:

[jtrockville]

19. I saw it in the "True Crime" section. No insert though.

[ima_sinnic]

22. it's already a "remainder" at 30% off??

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

As an old monkeywrencher, I love the idea of the insert and will soon be on a mission with it :evilgrin:

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. When I was in B&N last week I reshelved it in True Crime.

Took a photo with my cell phone and posted it to Facebook. Spur of the moment thing so I didn't have an insert. Gives me some great ideas though! :evilgrin:

[mythology]

20. Now that note isn't true

There is no way that George Bush actually wrote the book. After all it's 481 pages and that's approximately 480 more pages worth of thoughts than he's capable of putting together. This is a guy who was befuddled by how to eat a pretzel while sitting down after all.

[bongbong]

64. Pretzel story

The pretzel story was just an excuse for a fall or other mishap he did while he was drunk.

[trusty elf]

23. K&R!

An anagrammatic interpretation.....

[AllyCat]

42. Clever!

[Kolesar]

43. wow eom

[babylonsister]

24. Rec'd! nt

[Obamanaut]

25. And for the employees who straighten, stack, etc., many of whom are

working for minimum wage - no thoughts about the extra work being caused?

Lovely.

[Major Hogwash]

26. It's called "job security".

I never worry about it myself.

[Obamanaut]

28. It's called inconsiderate. nt

[Major Hogwash]

29. Ooooh, well, just for that . . .

I'm going to Barnes and Noble today and hide all of their copies in the fiction section, one by one.

Mue-ha-ha-ha!!!

[Obamanaut]

35. How adult. nt

[northernlights]

44. I worked in a bookstore in my younger years

Wouldn't have bothered me in the least. I spent *no* time looking for books "gone missing." It will probably only be noticed by people perusing the horror sections of the store and give them a good laugh.

This *really* bothers you for some reason, doesn't it?

Not me. Not one bit. Plan to indulge should the opportunity arise.

[druidity33]

31. 6 years working in bookstores...

i would have LOVED this. It's like a treasure hunt... find the book, guess where it could be. My co-workers and i probably would have made a game out of it. Might have even evolved a point system or tallying which shelves they end up on. Ever worked in a bookstore? It can be fun...

:)

[Pacifist Patriot]

32. I worked for Waldenbooks from 1985-1991. I would have loved this!

Yep, we'd have turned it into a game. Actually, some of the folks I worked with? They would have made a game out of trying to catch one another shelve it in the wrong section. i.e. more appropriate section like True Crime, Fiction or Horror.

[awoke_in_2003]

54. I don't think you are telling the full story...

it could be the store employees moving the books to begin with :)

[Mad_Dem_X]

65. I'm sure it doesn't bother them.

It only takes a few seconds to move a book. I'm sure it's no great burden to the employee.

[WinkyDink]

30. Are you saying employees go through every shelf daily to see if the correct books are there?

I don't believe it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. Welllll, we were supposed to.

Not 100% dilligent, but after closing while someone else balanced the till the rest of us were straightening and reshelving the obvious mishelved items. Can't catch everything of course, but we caught what we could. And working in a bookstore can get boring in down time. We'd tackle a section and get it cleared out and orderly. When we felt like it. :-)

[truth2power]

41. Yes, they do. I was at Border's one night, near closing time, and

some employees were getting ready to do the 'walk-through".

Think about it. A couple of days of not going through all the shelves and things would be chaos and no one could ever find anything. People don't put books back where they belong. :(

My public library has signs all over that say, "Please do not re-shelve books". Better to leave it on a table for a librarian to shelve if you can't figure out, from the call number, exactly where it goes.

[DireStrike]

36. Honestly, it's better to have something to do. Especially something amusing.

You leave at the same time anyways, whether everything is fixed or not.

[The Green Manalishi]

49. No, for the self righteous the rules do not apply

The same folks who get outraged when the right calls President Obama names but use crap like *, chimp, etc.
Not that I would mind seeing former President Bush hang for war crimes, but I loath stupid crap like this. Unrecced.

67. Bothers me too when

people show disrespect for typographical symbols and other primates.

[Greyhound]

58. What an inspiring contribution.

Do you ever tire of this bellyaching?

[quakerboy]

61. To be honest

I do think about this on occasion. If I move stuff in a store, then that store has to hire people to move it back. If I am a messy shopper, I am creating jobs. It takes me back to the movie the Fifth element, where he breaks the cup.


Now, Ive never done it with a book. But I generally leave the cart in the cart return outside for that reason, even though I could easily walk it back to the store front. Same thing if I grab a non-perishable item and then later in my shopping change my mind.

I guess I am just too orderly and organized about my book buying to have considered it in that context. And I doubt I will be in a bookstore carrying his book anytime soon, as I tend to frequent the resellers. And they don't carry books just cause they are being pushed out cheap to make sure it his the NYTimes list.

[mod mom]

63. please tell me you forgot the sarcasm notation.

really?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

27. Every copy should have one. nt

[indimuse]

37. Made my day!

knr!

[InvisibleTouch]

38. I love it!

"True Crime" is still the best match, IMO, but Fiction works also.

[proReality]

39. K&R

That made my morning!

[BrklynLiberal]

40. cooooooooooool. and brilliant.

The flier might even be effective if the book is left on its original shelf..and the purchaser did not see it until they got it home...

[swilton]

46. Power to the People

[herbm]

47. I am headed tot the bookstore right now. With gloves.

[jonthebru]

52. You might want to wash your hands...

You might want to wash your hands after touching this book, you never know where its been!

The insert is a great idea. Now I must go put new ink in my printer!

[HipChick]

53. Seems passive-aggressive to me..

In the UK, people got off their butts and protested in the streets so Blair had to stop his book tour..

[earth mom]

55. Love it!

:applause:

[yellerpup]

56. Good! That's where it belongs.

:kick: & Recommend!

[jmondine]

57. I moved Glenn Beck's book to the toilet paper aisle of my supermarket

[meegbear]

59. Oh SNAP!

[in_cog_ni_to]

66. G-d love 'em!

:rofl:

[Initech]

68. Fiction? It should be in the true crime section!
