And the award for disingenuity goes to . . .
Sometimes I really do wonder about the world of journalism. Do they really start out as disingenuous as this big article on publishers, bookstores, and pay-for-placement sounds? Does anyone really think the books on prominent display at Barnes and Noble are there because of their inherent excellences? Haven't we all noticed that all the Barnes and Nobles have the same displays (within reasonable constraints)? Haven't we all noticed the rack of "staff choices" that tell us what the local bookstore clerks really think?
