I never stocked Congo or Russia because those two volumes were deluxe, pricey, and less polished than the other albums. I'll reconsider them when I see the new editions, but my neighborhood is indigo, so no one will say anything. There haven't been any comments on our Yaoi offerings, so not worried. That's our buyer's job. Barnes & Noble shelves all of the English-language Tintin books in the general Graphic Novels section.
