"but the retailer strongly denied that the money influences which titles it recommends to buyers."

Of course they're going to say that, the fellow from your company was preeching the exact same thing on the radio last night.

cough, cough, *absolute bull-crap* cough cough.

Come on Mrs Book woman, you can't tell me you're that naive, massively biased - yes, but naive too?

Get your facts straight Bagfer and stick to the same arguement please.

I thought I did do that by using two newspaper articles to back up what I was saying, oh and I am not deviating from it.

Aaaah but your beloved store is not helping the little man, I was listening to a piece of radio yesterday going on about the unfair way in which Waterstones operates. Publishers/authors have to pay a fee to get their books onto the little tables you have in the stores, otherwise it's just confined to the shelves. And the monies involved can run into the thousands.

So let's just say, I, Mr Ballbag, a local to your store, write an amazing book that's going to appeal to anyone, yet don't have any money to spare. Waterstones would not help me at all. So saying "it's all about the local element" is absolute rollocks, it's all about the money.

Ahem I quote you Mt Bo**ocks! You're deviating from you roriginal arguement
