Cory, what you've said is true, but what you haven't mentioned is the events leading up to this rather sad state of affairs: Chapters. Books as wallpaper. Massive returns. Long delays in payments.

If the finger should be pointed at anyone, it's Larry Stevenson (the ex-CEO of Chapters) who is to blame for this mess. Actually, it's Larry Stevenson and the archiac Canadian bookselling laws...

And I'm hoping you were being sarcastic for that last bit. :)
