Harry Potter And The Bookstore Losses

"That's not fair to the customers. They might also stick around and flip through key parts of The Secret."

Police Officer
"Even more damaging to bookstores is the fact that you can purchase Harry Potter books at most vending machines."
Max Prugh,
Sales Representative
"But once the customers are through the door, they can't help but to spend money hand over fist on the impulse-displayed kitten bookmarks, a copy of Redbook and overpriced Chekhov."
