Re: Article regarding the book "The Trouble With Babies."

[robert eiffert <robert@CRYPTICMACHINERY.NET>]

Maybe there is a bit more than "...apparently had discouraged many
librarians across the United States from buying the title..."

Amazon Sales Rank
Junie B. Jones is not a Crook  LB 298,563 PB 4,658
Trouble with Babies HC 3,249
Magic Tree House Thanksgiving on Thursday LB 235,897 PB 4,126
Trouble with Cats   HC 1,084,786 PB 497,229

The hardcover is outselling PB versions of Junie B. Jones AND Magic Tree
House.... Is the publicity causing kids and parents to buy it?

Hi:

This article was forwarded to me from the Arts Journal newsletter. =20

I thought it was interesting because it states that librarians have =
affected the sales of this book because of its content.  I'm not =
submitting the link to promote a political agenda, but thought it might =
engender some interesting conversation about selection.
