   GREAT NEWS!

   BARNES & NOBLE has placed Son of Forgotten Hollywood Forgotten History in many of their stores from coast-to-coast. The results are staggering…

   Here’s a preliminary list:

~ CALIFORNIA – Glendale / Huntington Beach / Long Beach (2) / Santa Monica Studio City / Orange / Thousand Oaks

~ NEW YORK – 5th Ave / Broadway / Downtown Manhattan (2) / Union Square

   Thirteen locations increases my overall total to 20!

   Thank you B&N
