News out on GBFE ... don't know if this has anything to do with the move today or not. (This is from newsalert.com). Agree with Barbara that the financials on this one will probably work against it.

Golden Books Announces Debut of goldenbooks.com

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 1999--

Reinforces Commitment to E-Commerce Development

In support of its commitment to the Internet and e-commerce, Golden Books Family Entertainment (NASDAQ: GBFE) launched its newly re-designed web site, www.goldenbooks.com.

The revamped site now directly targets the demands of the consumer by answering the needs of parents, children and collectors. Golden Books intends to further build on the site over the next few months in
support of its role as one of the strongest brands in children's publishing.

The company's Special Markets group is dedicated to ensuring that Golden Books is a leader in the future of children's book e-commerce. "With Golden Books' 97% brand awareness and trust factor, we're one of
the first destinations for parents looking to buy children's books on-line. We're committed to providing both the technological and marketing support needed to successfully partner with electronic retailers," said Patty Sullivan, EVP Managing Director of Golden Books Special Markets.

In addition, Golden Books is now offering a selection of children's books through a specially-created page on Azazz.com (www.azazz.com), where it is the only children's book site. Rich Collins, chief operating officer of Golden Books Family Entertainment, said, "The strength of the Golden Books brand draws our customers to our web site. After they arrive and surf around, they tell us they want to buy our books, and that's where our relationships with Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com. Azazz.com, and other family toy and book-selling sites come in. We want to provide our customers with the opportunity to buy our best books on-line through easy links to both electronic retailers and traditional retailers like Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target."

Golden Books Family Entertainment, Inc., is the leading children's book publisher in North America. The Company owns one of the world's largest libraries of family entertainment copyrights and creates,
publishes and markets entertainment products for children and families through all media. Its extensive library includes The Lone Ranger, Lassie, Underdog, Little Lulu, The Poky Little Puppy, Pat the Bunny,
