Not content to simply sell books, superstore Barnes & Noble is expanding the line of titles it publishes. “The superstore chain announced Monday it was upgrading and expanding its line of ‘classic books’ such as ‘Moby-Dick’ and ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.’ Editions from the new imprint, Barnes & Noble Classics, will start coming out in May, with 100 different titles expected by June 2004.”
