I guess we can argue about the hybrid sales models all day and night. Will it work? It did for Sears for nearly a century, but they finally dumped it - although management was making so many missteps who knows if that was a smart idea or not. (And Sears really modified the product line over the years. I remember my Grandfather bought a case of dynamite from them to dig a deep well in rocky ground - I was only 2 years old but I still remember that operation! -g-) We can watch the book sellers and boxmakers slug it out on the new marketing models and see what happens. Good management and execution will be key and this is where I think GTW falls short. Regards, DWW
