Barnesandnoble.com Asked to Modify Web Site Slogan, Paper Says Bloomberg News July 14, 1999, 7:45 a.m. PT New York, July 14 (Bloomberg) -- Barnesandnoble.com Inc., an online bookseller owned by Barnes & Noble Inc. and Bertelsmann AG, has been asked by a division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus to modify or remove its slogan, ''If we don't have your book, nobody does,'' the New York Daily News reported. The American Booksellers Association, which filed a complaint in December, compiled a list of 100 out-of-print titles and found 24 were available only through competitors. While the company said it would comply with the request, the slogan still appeared on the site as of yesterday, the paper said. Barnesandnoble.com, the No. 2 online bookseller behind Amazon.com Inc., said Monday it started a program that lets users earn a commission on sales if they direct other people to the retailer's Internet site through links in their e-mails.
