Just one note, Zelda, as I agree with your comments. That note is this: B&N is
not a distributor; it is a retailer who buys its books either directly or through distributors such as Ingram. It does distribute its B&N Books press' books to its own stores, but it is not a distributor like Ingram. Another chain, for example, couldn't order books through B&N.
