Seems some publishers are not happy about the news...
Quote:
For many in the publishing industry, Boire's dismissal comes as a shock, and a disappointment. A number of insiders said that, ultimately, the CEO shuffle will cause further problems for the embattled retailer.
The head of one large publisher said he was angered to hear the news, pointing out that finding and building a new executive team will set B&N back by six months. "I need them to execute on the ground" during the holidays, this publisher said.
Another high level publishing executive said he was surprised about the move since Boire "seemed to have a plan."
