Kelly Burdick, the executive editor for independent publisher Melville House, penned a column Oct. 2 saying that despite Barnes & Noble?s well-known policy of not carrying titles published by Amazon, she had seen Amazon-released book ?My Mother Was Nuts? by Penny Marshall at a New York Barnes & Noble location. When she did a ?Find in store? search for Marshall?s book on the company?s website, she said the website indicated that the book could be found at Barnes & Noble locations in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington, D.C., among others.

?In any case, it?s not much of a boycott,? Burdick wrote. ?A real boycott would mean not stocking Amazon?s books. Guess that?s harder than it looks.?

In the wake of Burdick?s column, Barnes & Noble stated, ?Our policy has not changed. We are not carrying Amazon titles.? The company reportedly e-mailed its stores instructions to take the Amazon books off the shelves, according to the Melville House column.
