Sorry. This is on you NOT Barnes and Noble. When I donate money I don't worry about what I receive in return. THATS CALLED....the Christmas Spirit. .just saying...Rant Over..

You didn't get the point. I didn't receive or expect anything in return. The child receiving the book got a crappy book, B&N got rid of crap inventory, and I paid for that. What I would have expected was for B&N to provide books for donation that would have been a bit more memorable for a child. I'd have rather paid more of a better book for B&N to provide to a child. They are using the 'donate' to remove unwanted inventory. I will admit, I should have inquired a bit more about what book was being donated. Next year, I'll just exclusively stick with toys for tots. I pick it out, buy it, and put it in the bin. We do that yearly. B&N could take a lesson from that model. Let you go buy any book, but it in a bin for donation, not just books they are trying to get rid of.
