As a manager at a Chapters I do know that this is a major issue that our home office is dealing with... its actually priority number one right now... what people need to understand with regards to books is that the prices are actually set by the vendor more than 6 months in advance... people shopping in retail dont notice the difference on many products but with books u physically see the price diferences side by side so my front line people feel the brunt of the consumers pain... Just letting you know that the vendors are being pressured as we speak however with the 6 month time frame it takes a while for the ripple to actually reach the consumer...
