Amazon is steadily becoming the wholesale distributor of books to thousands of mom and pop type bookstores across the country. Michael, if you're being sarcastic, you should use a wink - ;-) - or a LOL to let us in on the joke. If you are serious, I think you are imagining opportunities that don't exist. Amazon would die a quick, but painful death going up against the likes of Ingram and "mom and pop" bookstores certainly wouldn't want to pay over wholesale and wait weeks for delivery from a competitor, just because they have a cool database. Besides, I'd bet the independents hate Amazon almost as much as they hate BKS. Anyway, use of the database is free and I'm sure Ingram and other sources in the trade can provide them with plenty of data on what's selling. Better find a better reason for buying this tulip. Bob
