B & N

When thinking about Barnes and Noble, i just think "books," but after visiting the store i've realized that is not all that is there. After our B & N visit, i knew it wasn't just about books. According to the management and employees, there is much more to it being just another bookstore. I learned that they recieve 2 to 3 pallets of books a day which is about 195 boxes of books and go through about 1500 transactions at the registers throughout one day. There is a cafe inside where you can get starbucks products while your children sit in on story time.

This visit definitely taught me a lot that i did not know. I became ver knowledgeable on all the different aspects of the store and the books. I learned about short listing and back listing as well as shelf life of books which is 90 days. I also learned that authors really do not have a say over the cover of their books, it's up to the editor to know what the people are attracted too.
