Dec issue of Orchids, anyone?
I agree. I always buy at Amazon or via their used book store. I understood
there was some sort of space issues at the headquarters. Storing gifts in space that could have been used for other purposes. Admittedly I'm not sure what Lee Cooke had to do with the store and its operations, but I think he was championing that program, and may have finally had to bite the bullet and pull the plug, like all of us in business seem to be doing these days. (Lordy, I don't know where the Feds come up with their economic data these days, it sure isn't reflected in Calif, LOL!) Anyway, in corporate worlds that sort of reorganizing is often seen as 'failure' isn't it? (Never having been in corporate work I really don't know and should keep my mouth shut.) So I'll take my own advice and shut up on the subject. K "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... Y'know, Kath, how many books could they have been selling, since they were asking jacket price? Who pays full price for books anymore? I've purchased books as trophies, and Amazon sells for a fraction of what AOS was charging. Diana "K Barrett" wrote in message news I wondered if there was some sort of a link between the AOS stopping selling books and instead referring people to Amazon and the Canadian bookseller( sorry I forget its name although I'm on their email list) I didn't know if they were pulling back on all sorts of fronts, the bookstore being another front to pull back on. It may have been a money losing proposition to buy/store all the inventory for the books/gifts department. K "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... I'm out of the loop on that front, so I don't know the reason why. Politics. Diana |
