We at Shelf Awareness wonder if a sale of Baker & Taylor by Follett might be related to a Follett offer for Barnes & Noble. B&N said in October that it had received several expressions of interest in buying the company, one of which involves chairman Len Riggio. Follett may want to sell B&T if it aspires to buy B&N, an approach that would lessen FTC concerns and avoid B&T's non-B&N retail customers objecting and possibly taking their business elsewhere.
