I dunno either, but I'm sure it's cheaper on amazon.com.

I'm still researching it, but I think it's those standing floor displays. Wouldn't that be cool to own!?

lol ... I'm not entirely sure that regular peoples can order them, though it would really neat if you can. I see things like that at my job in the computer all the time. the problem is, those things are a pain in the FUCKING ASS to put together.

Yes. At work, we call them "dumps". ;D
Why would they have them on bn.com if regular peeps can't order them though? Odd.

yea, "dumps" or "temporary floor displays" when we're using proper terminology.
yea, it's weird that they have them up, but we have them in the computer at work too, and we're not responsible for ordering those ... they just send them to us when they feel like it, so it makes NO sense for them to be in our system either, but they are.

So crash, instead of throwing them away when you're done, it looks like you should be putting them on EBay!

LOl I used to love having Dump Bins to play with when i was a book store chickie... they loook soooo purdy.... and I used to love making up my own displays i did this one for Michael Palin .. (travel writer) when he was touring here and I had one of those old suit cases... filled it with Sand and pyramid models ... with his book diplayed inside it (Sahara)... he loved it! I have a photo... in my piles some where with him standing next to it.... ahhhh those were they days... I miss my book discount.. *sigh*

um, yea, except it doesn't end up with the books in it when it's done ... and even so, anything I get from work for free, I'd get fired if I ebayed any of that shit ... like right, we've got a window display poster sticker thing that the first one we got was messed up, so they sent a new one and my boss gave me the messed up one ... I could get a lot of money for that from the right person, but I'd be without a job. which sucks.

My cool B&N booksellers gave my the dump for my third book. It's in my study, and neat -- though probably only to the author.
