Yes, B&N acted quite promptly.  Amazon.com has been another story.  I think 
they've finally got it right as far as how they sell the book.  You can go 
see for yourself.

Leonard Fein has written a few columns on this.  One is available (it's not 
his latest, but it's the only one I could find) here:
http://www.neponset.com/jewish_advocate/oped.htm

Since this column was written (I read his latest one in the most recent 
Forward) Amazon has added their own disclaimer and the publisher has 
written an entirely new, and more appropriate, review.  Amazon really 
dragged their feet on this.  They just didn't seem to get it.
