I agree that this is an opportunity. When I read the release I see innovative management with a plan. I like the comments about integrating the net with the stores as well as the ambitious growth plans including international. So at risk of catching a falling knife by the blade, I'm buying at 17 1/16. Heck I might get lucky and grab the handle.

Should be a great buying opportunity! Well, I'm getting damn tired of "buying opportunities". While they run a successful bookselling business, they're totally inept at PR and are extremely weak in marketing. They can't come close to competing with B&N or Amazon in the hype department and it's costing them dearly. I'm giving them one quarter to see if they can get their marketing act together, if I don't start to see some sizzle I'm done. The company deserves the pounding its getting today. Too bad for us. RC
