Supporters, Barnes & Noble said, are claiming the bookseller has intentionally not stocked the title or is hiding it, while detractors are asking stores to remove it altogether.

No mention that some of the complaints that Barnes & Noble received were over the false title and graphic on the website.

Even after the "hack" was corrected, the incorrect image REMAINED on the B&N server for days (a week?) afterwards.

Some FReepers have also mentioned that they have been treated rudely by clerks when they inquired about the book.

I called Borders bookstore in Torrance, CA., and they didn't have any in last week. The clerk claimed they don't have any 'cuz it's propaganda!! I said the hell it is and who is your Manager? He backpeddled very quickly and laughed saying he was "just kidding." He claimed he's been yelled at a 1,000 times that day by people calling in about the book. I gave him a thing or two to think about.....like "you better not call the book propaganda if you want to keep your job". He said "no, really, we just can't seem to keep them in stock." I better call back and talk to his Manager anyway....just for grins.

Tip: When you call into your local bookstore make sure you get the NAME of the clerk up front who is helping you. That way, when they make some asinine comment you already have their name.
