Barnes & Noble shows noble mindset

Good for Barnes & Noble! Deciding not to carry the new O. J. Simpson book is a difficult decision, but putting morality over profit is a great position. I just hope other retailers - Amazon, Border's, Wal-Mart, etc. - follow suit.

Barnes & Noble Won't Stock O. J. Book

If you're hoping to buy O.J. Simpson's "If I Did It," don't expect to find a copy at Barnes & Noble.

Citing a perceived lack of interest, the chain said the book would only be available by special order or for purchase online through BarnesandNoble.com.

"Our buyers don't feel there will be enough of a demand to carry it in our stores," Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

A rival chain, Borders Group Inc., said Tuesday that it would stock "If I Did It," a fictionalized account of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. But spokeswoman Ann Binkley said Borders "will not promote or market the book in any way."
