Chuzzlewit, >>>The problem is that there is entirely too much human intervention and warehouse space required, given the level of pricing I must confess that I do not understand the book selling business at all, but why can't AMZN, BKS... strike a deal with the publishers to ship books directly to consumers. I am thinking of an enhanced JIT system where the book re-sellers don't have to stock books and incur the associated costs of shipping twice. For disclosure purposes, I am neither short nor long BKS, but am thinking of going long. Ahmad.
