Vandy Bookstore Online Closing
Anyone know why? And is the Barnes and Noble VU bookstore on West End still going to be operating?

It sounds like their contract with B&N and they're going with a different vendor, Follet.Georgiadore wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 5:09 pm Anyone know why? And is the Barnes and Noble VU bookstore on West End still going to be operating?

FWIW, I was never that happy with the apparel selections at the bookstore, and it seemed the online offerings were more limited than in-store.

Re: Vandy Bookstore Online Closing
As someone who writes and self publishes local interest books, Follett was very easy to work with and Barnes & Noble was pretty awful.
Although I may be speaking slightly out of turn here, the B&N Vanderbilt bookstore has pretty much never carried "local" books such as local history and local interest.
I gave up on the B&N Vanderbilt bookstore about 5 years ago.
So from the point of view of local authors this is very good news.
