I realize that I'm relatively new to the publishing game, but there is something that totally perplexes me about Barnes and Noble. They bought forty copies of Affinity's Window from my publisher. Their site now shows my book as Temporarily out of Stock, meaning they've sold all the copies they had on hand. They won't reorder anymore copies. When my publisher asked them about this, they replied, quite tersely I might add, that there wasn't enough interest in the book to generate a reorder.
They ran ads of Affinity's Window on facebook, and other social media outlets, and they sold out their warehouse stock, but they're not ordering anymore for lack of interest?
I see that no one really reads these blog posts, but if you happen across this one day, and have any idea why B and N does what they do, give me a hint, would you? I'll never understand certain aspects of this business.
