Michigan Bookstore Offers Refunds for Harper Lee's "Go Set A Watchman"


A Michigan bookstore is offering refunds on Harper Lee's "Go Set a Watchmen."

The reason? They say it doesn't feel like a prequel or a sequel to To Kill A Mockingbird, nor does it feel like a new book. They say instead that it feels like "a first draft that was originally, and rightfully, rejected."

The owner goes on to say:

"We are not offering refunds based on the quality of the (Harper Lee) book or its content. We are offering refunds to those who bought the book based on marketing that led them to believe it was something other than what it actually was ... If you find yourself complicit in misleading a customer, you should make amends. Again, this isn't about whether they liked the book. Its about being misled by the marketing."
