With new financial backing from its parent company, the country’s second largest bookselling chain has been revitalizing its stores and posting record sales in the process.
Sports weren’t corrupted by gamblers. It got sold out by the people who made gambling central to the business model.

"Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur," is my first non-sports book. Three years, 652 interviews. Hardest book I've written, best book I've written. I am fighting for sales in a sea of political news. Please consider helping a lib writer out. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/only-god-c...
It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.
Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo are also going to have a multi-hour meeting after this game but it's just going to be them hitting wrestling finishers off the couch on each other
After a memorable 19-year run at Triumph Books, today is my final day. To all the authors whose books I acquired or book tours I managed, it has been an honor and pleasure to work with you. Shout-out to all the awesome sports media who helped our authors promote their books. #Publishing #BookSky
The Kid!
