Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the world’s largest
retail bookseller, today announced that Bob Woodward’s Fear is the
top seller in stores nationwide and online at BN.com just one day
after the book’s release, with the fastest sales for an adult title

our stores and online,” said Liz Harwell, Senior Director of
