I don't have data on inventory turns on hand -- but Barnes, with its purchase of Ingram's, acquires 11 high tech, high speed distribution centers and tons of data on book orders etc, that nobody else in the industry can access. They also have print to order capability though 'Lighting Print' -- something AMZN can't easily match. AMZN is a godsend for Barnes. If not for AMZN, Barnes would face the kind of heat MSFT is getting. The consolidation of book selling represented by the growth of Barnes would be raising red flags in Washington -- except that the naive popular view is that AMZN has them on the run -- an amusing thought. By the way, if AMZN had acquired Ingrams, this would be a different industry.
