Are books that much more than 80% ? I know they have a lot of magazines which are fully returnable as well as high margin seasonal stuff. The concern for me, after reading last years annual report last night, is the company considers last year "very successful" and gave big bonuses. All this for a company that has not in 6 years had a decent ROE. The good news is they sent me a free mousepad with my invesdtors package. Also,direct insider ownership, other than the Andersons, is really, really low. Still, they have a lot of book value and potential. I dont think they are going belly up. I do wonder if they have some stores that will need to be closed or written down.
