HOLD UP ON THAT HALO

Before the News and many of its readers bestow sainthood on Tattered
Cover owner Joyce Meskis, I would like to ask two questions. Why does
Tattered Cover have books for sale on how to produce illegal drugs?
Does Meskis accept any social responsibility for the harm that may be
caused as a result of selling these kinds of books?

Keep in mind that, other than kiddy porn, no government agency will
tell Meskis what she can or cannot sell. Meskis alone is responsible
for that.
