Impact of the 'hardcover wars'     21-Oct-09 01:37 pm    
I'm assuming that a lot of the recent weakness is due to the 'hardcover wars' that Amazon and Walmart are fighting (and, i think, Target is matching).

Does anyone have a guess about the *real* impact this is having on BAMMs sales? I'd guess that sales of bestsellers are down, but those were sold at a discount anyways. Is this significantly reducing the foot traffic/sales in the stores?

I assume we'll have to wait for the quarterly numbers to be reported, just wanted to see if there was any information out there already.
