Whoever runs that bookstore should be thrown off a building.
They probably just sell them because people buy them. If no one bought them they wouldn't be there
People buy them and just leave them there?
Nope, large publishing houses/ and third party marketing pre-order books which are then distributed to points of sale.
'monthly best seller lists' etc are actually predicated on how many books were 'ordered' by the publisher and not actual sales to the public.
Books in stores have already been paid for by the publisher - and the reason they are on the shelf is bc nobody is buying them.
