Move Bush’s Book
Remember W.? Our boy’s new memoir, Decision Points, is slated to drop tomorrow, and folks are protesting its release by pledging to subversively move the book to shops’ crime section.
What do you say? Want to do some sneaky book-switching at a Barnes and Nobles near you?

So what you are proposing is to create more work for underpaid employees while giving the book some added publicity?

As a former bookstore employee, my fellow employees and I enjoyed our work and had sense of humor enough not to take offense at a subtle and creative public protest like this one. I imagine that at least some of our colleagues at B & N will be waiting with some curiosity to see whether the bookswitch is a success. I would find it no more bothersome than those people who surreptitiously hide postcards in the Post Secret books for the next browser/buyer to find.
