Does this mean Deseret might possibly be big enough now that the federal anti-trust people could notice what they're doing and take some steps? Probably not. But any attempt at achieving a monopoly is definitely not good news for authors.
But wouldn't it be hypocritical of me to criticize Deseret for owning a chain and then go into retail myself?

Seemslike the LDS market is really downsizing...So far, no one has made any hostile acquisition bids for my ZarahemlaBooks. Parables, Mormon Arts & Letters, Signature, others, you guysstill independent too? Maybe we should band together and start our
