WHO'S MINDING THE STORE?

摘要

Borders Group used to pride itself on stocking its bookstores with the widest selection possible in a brick-and-mortar establishment. In its cooking section, for instance, there were always more than 10 titles about sushi, including Sushi for Parties, the more supportive Squeamish About Sushi, and The Encyclopedia of Sushi Rolls, a definitive tome that explains, among other things, how to spell your name in makimono. Now, Borders is planning to yank half of those sushi how-tos from its shelves. Why? In part because HarperCollins, the nation's third-largest publishing house, told it to.
