Dude, don't let that guy get to you. he's full of crap. I do this kind of thing all the time. make it a point to go into the SF section of a bookstore I happen to be in, look for books by my friends, and turn then cover out. Many times I don't even have to diturb the orientation fo othr books in the process. many tims they have enough of that book in a row for me to turn the cover out and still take up the same width. If I do have to turn a couple of Terry Goodkind or Neil Gaiman or Robert Jordan spine out to get the job done, I really, really don't think they care. The book store workers might care, but I doubt it. Corporate tells them how to arrange the shelves. And is probably paid extra by someone to do it a certain way. So I have no qualms about helping out an author who may not have the full force of the corporate machine behind them.

It's not wrong or immoral. Sheesh.

(in fact, I'm going into the bookstore across from where I am and turning your books cover out right now!!!)
