beartrack -- Not all men over 80 read westerns -- they come in and get mysteries, war, adventure, non-fiction. I'm talking about one section and the group that reads them. Heck, we have a very large of romance books -- the only time I've seen a man in there is when he had a specific list his wife wanted him to get (or he got lost and went the wrong way -- you should see how quickly they run out). And most of the women over 80 check out the big print books.
Sides, I already replied to you. Not gonna apologize for the characterization and it is most definitely not profiling. It's accurate for Mark Twain. As I said, if I thought it was truly only elderly gentlemen who read westerns, I wouldn't have asked here. Heck, I used to have the complete collection of Zane Grey in my teens and I thoroughly enjoyed them. But the MT guys need some new books.
As to going to Markets of Marion with you to select new westerns, I'd be at a loss. I really have no clue what is new or even good today. However, I'll be working on Thursday and I'll try to see what we have. Any suggestions what I should look for?
