Default Hey Mason...

I went to B&N today to get HoH. I perused the poker books for about 15 minutes and didn't see it, so I was about to leave, figuring they didn't have it. Then I figure for the hell of it I'd ask someone to look it up to see if they had it. Well they did have it, but for some reason it's listed as "Other Gambling" with all the craps and Frugal Gambler type books. You ought to get them to change that.

Yeah, so?

Are you telling me there's a seperate section called "Gambling" as opposed to "Other Gambling"?

Or is there actually a poker section?

If so, it would be a rarity. Borders does a great job for 2+2, but they only have one gambling section.

Both the borders and B&N near me have a gambling and a separate poker section (although they are sitting right next to each other). Both have Harrington in the poker section. I have a feeling this is just a local store issue and not a broader problem with B&N classification of the book.

The real question is why are you buying it in the store when it's $10 off online...

Buying a book in a bookstore is like playing poker at a Casino. Sure, it's not as good for your pocket, but at least you can walk out with something instead of waiting a week.

because I just decided to make a big effort to get good at these and I didn't feel like waiting a day to get it.
