I'd kill to have a Barnes and Nobel in my town and I've been to the local used bookstore once.

$20 says he hasn't even tried the right marketing with these things, I bet he would sell a crap ton if he took out an Ebay book store. Just because he has aall the book sitting in a wherehouse in Missouri that he can't sell, doesn't mean there is not SOMEBODY out there that isn't looking for the book. Put them on the net and open them up to the world.
