Ya know, I think I would just go in and talk to them. Get the manager and just share some concerns with him/her. While it would be nice to have them stop carrying it the real goal IMHO is to at least get them to think before they recommend it. That, to me, is the real problem wit these books in bookstores. If the staff is clueless about the problems but hear glowing reviews from the moms who are totally committed to it, what are they going to recommend when desparate-mom-of-a-newborn or wants-to-know-everything-pregnant mom comes in asking for a book about babies. I think the personal contact of a mom who just says, "Hey there are problems with this book that you might want to be aware of" carries more weight than a letter that may or may not be read.
