☆ Independent bookstores once considered Barnes & Noble the enemy, but its CEO loves small bookstores so much, he owns 9 of his own

Barnes & Noble's CEO owns nine independent bookstores scattered throughout London. But back in the 1990s, the book retailer was considered the enemy of small bookstores everywhere. That was before Barnes & Noble went into decline — these days, it's in the midst of a revamp. Chains like Barnes & Noble were the enemy of anyone who truly loved books, according to the film. Daunt now oversees roughly 600 Barnes & Noble stores across the US, as well as 100 Paper Source stores and nearly 300 Waterstones shops in the UK and Europe, according to Barnes & Noble.

While political-committee book purchases are en vogue, it's rare for Republicans — or Democrats — to purchase so many from a mom-and-pop operation.
