Unfit for Command - adventures in ordering
Two weeks ago, I ordered 'Unfit for Command' from Amazon. Interestingly enough, the day I ordered it they said it would ship the next day. The next day Amazon said there would be a 5-7 week delay in shipping. It rebounded to 2 days for a couple days and is now said to be shipping in October.
Today I went to my local Barnes and Noble store. The book was nowhere to be found on the usual shelves - not in the political section, not by new releases and not in dedicated “new political books”. I almost left before I decided to walk back to the service counter where there was a stack of the books. I counted 12 total.
I'm not sure why, but I find it hard to believe that Amazon can't get this book when my local Barnes and Noble has a stash tucked far away from the regular displays. If the demand and ordering logistics are as difficult as Amazon claims, I would think this book would soon out-volume the Bible. I find it interesting that noone has questioned this situation in the press.
