Here's how Costco, the world's largest warehouse membership club, came to be. Book bargain hunters will be disappointed to learn Costco plans to stop selling books at most of its U.S. stores at the beginning of the year. In January, Costco will remove the store’s popular book section from the majority of its 600-plus stores in the United States. And it will only return during the holiday season, from September to December, and at other intermittent times, the discount store chain told publishers over the summer, according to The New York Times. Costco told the executives the change was made because stocking books on tables is labor-intensive and must be done by hand rather than by forklift like other products, the Times reported.

Books will remain in around 100 Costco stores across the country all year, however, trade news magazine Publisher’s Weekly reported this week. The decision to keep some books in stores would be a reversal from the store’s earlier plans, the outlet reported.

If book sales continue to do well, Costco could bring literary sections back to more stores, according to the magazine, or all of them could become seasonal if sales lag.

LIVE Man City vs Tottenham - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Pep Guardiola's side look to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool By HARRY BAMFORTH and JACK GAUGHAN AT ETIHAD STADIUM and MATT BARLOW AT ETIHAD STADIUM Published: 16:00, 23 November 2024 | Updated: 16:21, 23 November 2024 e-mail View comments Advertisement Follow Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score, team news and updates as Manchester City host Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League action from the Etihad Stadium. 16:12 Spurs in need of points By Harry Bamforth Tottenham have had such a bizarre season, haven't they? One week they will thump a team like Aston Villa and the next they will lose to Ipswich at home. I sound like a broken record, but you just never know which Spurs you are going to be getting. They are truly the most inconsistent side in the division. Many will think after their humbling to the Tractor Boys last week that they will have no chance against the champions. But that's just not how they work. Based on their past under Ange Postecoglou, there is no reason why Spurs can't cause City major problems today. Still, when you are in need of points, the Etihad is not where you want to go. Which Tottenham will turn up? 16:08 Guardiola: 'I could not leave now' By Harry Bamforth Pep Guardiola, Manchester City boss, speaking about his contract: I felt I could not leave now. Maybe the four defeats were why. I think we deserve, after four defeats in a row, to bounce back and try to turn the situation. I think we deserve to be here. I am not arrogant to say, but it's the truth. We have to recover that because right now we don't have it and that's the target we have to do. This is my ninth season here. We have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club. Hopefully, now we can add more trophies to the ones we have already won. That will be my focus. 16:04 Guardiola's big midweek boost By Harry Bamforth It's not been all bad for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City of late. Sure, they have been under their worst run ever under the Spaniard and are currently five points off the top of the Premier League. But still, Guardiola is determined to turn it around. He is so insistent on resolving things that he put pen to paper on a one-year contract in the week. With all the uncertainty about his future beforehand, that was huge news for the club. It will most certainly give the players a boost after the knock-in confidence they have so clearly had. Expect to see a very driven City side today. 16:00 Can City stop the rot? By Harry Bamforth This one is going to be tasty, isn't it? It has already been an entertaining return to Premier League action today, but we are saving the best until last. Manchester City and Tottenham have played out some absolute Premier League classics in the last few years. Every time these two take to the pitch, whether it be at the Etihad or Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they always deliver. City are in dire need of a win after losing four consecutive matches in all competitions for the first time under Pep Guardiola. Meanwhile, Spurs will be hoping their Dr. Jekyll side comes out today after their shock defeat at home to Ipswich two weeks ago. Whatever happens, it's sure to be a belter. Don't go anywhere.

Cowboys in disgrace: CEO Stephen Jones confirms front office doesn't prioritize player discipline
Walker's 20 help IU Indianapolis knock off Trinity Christian 106-49Wisconsin court ruling restores collective bargaining rights in major win for union, workersReality TV star Maura Higgins was called a "little cow" by campmate Tulisa Contostavlos ahead of a bushtucker trial on the new series of I'm A Celebrity this week. Tulisa, 36, was previously announced as the celebrity taking on the latest trial, Shock Around the Clock. The aftermath of the news featured in Wednesday's episode of the ITV show, shortly before viewers saw the bushtucker trial itself. Following the announcement that N-Dubz member Tulisa would face her first trial, former Love Island finalist Maura - who has already done two trials, including the one prior - shared that she was glad it wasn't her facing it. Tulisa said: "I know Maura's so entertained right now." READ MORE - Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin: Net worth, huge house and why they'll never split READ MORE - Gladiator II star Paul Mescal reveals why he has to 'quit the internet' and social media Maura was heard laughing, as Tulisa teased: "You're gonna be sat here giggling like this while I'm doing it." Maura reacted: "I'd love to be a fly on the wall." Teasing back, Tulisa called her co-star "a little cow". The pair both laughed and later reflecting in the bush telegraph, Maura said: "I am happy no trial for Maura today so I've got a smile on my face." The latest trial came after Tulisa and Maura were vocal in a group challenge on Tuesday's episode, with them screaming as the campmates had insects fall on them inside a bus. Fans expressed sympathy for Barry McGuigan , who was sat in between them. Tulisa faced Shock Around the Clock on her own and was told by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly that she would be strapped into a box that represented a hand on a giant clock. It would be rotated around the clock face during the trial and Tulisa would be joined by an assortment of bugs. In order to win each star for camp, Tulisa had to name twelve things that fit into a particular category within 60 seconds. There were twelve categories overall - including naming UK cities - with a dozen stars up for grabs. The first category saw her asked to name all twelve of the campmates on I'm A Celebrity this year. Tulisa quickly named several of them and then herself, but struggled as time went on, ultimately missing two names off her list. Once the trial had ended, it was confirmed that she had won five out of twelve stars during the challenge. Reflecting on the experience, she said afterwards: "When I was in there my brain just wouldn't function, it just went blank, I was just trying to survive." When Tulisa returned to camp, Maura said: "I'm so proud." She added that her campmate shouldn't be disheartened by having only won five out of the twelve stars. I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX. I'm A Celebrity...Unpacked airs live on ITV2 every night directly after the ITV1 show.

Message of development endorsed, politics of lies defeated: Modi on poll resultsPanic among spectators at soccer game kills at least 56 in the West African nation of Guinea
Biden's broken promise on pardoning his son Hunter is raising new questions about his legacy WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s decision to go back on his word and pardon his son Hunter wasn't all that surprising to those who are familiar with the president's devotion to his family. But by choosing to put his family first, the 82-year-old president has raised new questions about his legacy. Biden has held himself up as placing his respect for the American judicial system and rule of law over his own personal concerns. It was part of an effort to draw a deliberate contrast with Republican Donald Trump. Now, both his broken promise and his act of clemency are a political lightning rod. Some Democrats are frustrated over Joe Biden reversing course and pardoning his son Hunter ATLANTA (AP) — Already reeling from their November defeat at the polls, Democrats now are grappling with President Joe Biden's pardoning of his son for a federal felony conviction — after the party spent years slamming Donald Trump as a threat to democracy who operates above the law. The White House on Monday struggled to defend the pardon, claiming the prosecution was politically motivated — a page out of Trump's playbook. That explanation did not satisfy some Democrats who are angry that Biden’s reversal could make it harder to take on Trump. Hezbollah fires into Israel-held area after multiple Israeli strikes in Lebanon since truce began JERUSALEM (AP) — Hezbollah fired into a disputed border zone held by Israel after multiple Israeli strikes inside Lebanon since a ceasefire took hold last week. The militant group said the volley, its first during the truce, was a warning shot in response to what it called repeated Israeli violations. Israeli leaders threatened to retaliate, further straining the fragile U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire. Israeli strikes in recent days, including a string of hits on Monday, have killed at least four people in Lebanon. U.S. officials said the ceasefire was largely holding. Key players in Syria's long-running civil war, reignited by a shock rebel offensive BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s civil war has exploded back onto the world stage after insurgents poured out of their main bastion in northwestern Syria and seized large parts of nearby Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, and dozens of nearby towns and villages.. The insurgents offensive triggered the heaviest clashes in the country since a March 2020 cease-fire brokered by Turkey and Russia, who back rival sides in the conflict. Five countries have military presence in Syria including the U.S. that has troops deployed in the country’s east, Turkey that controls parts of northern Syria, Israel that has presence in the Golan Heights and Russia and Iran that have been a main backer of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Woman driving drunk who killed bride still in her wedding dress sentenced to 25 years in prison A woman who admitted to drinking and who was driving well over twice the speed limit when she smashed into a golf cart killing a bride who had just got married at a South Carolina beach has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Jamie Lee Komoroski pleaded guilty Monday to reckless homicide and three felony driving under the influence charges. Police said the 27-year-old drank at several bars on April 28, 2023, and was driving 65 mph on a narrow Folly Beach road when she slammed into a golf cart leaving a wedding. The bride, 34-year-old Samantha Miller, died still wearing her wedding dress. Great Lakes region gets yet more snow after a weekend of snarled Thanksgiving travel Some storm-weary residents of the Great Lakes region saw additional snow and faced the prospect of even more accumulations this week. Lake-effect snow continued to fall on parts of western New York that were already blanketed with a foot or more over the past four days. Lake-effect snow warnings were in effect through Tuesday night in parts of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. Snow showers fell in western Michigan overnight, and heavier, persistent snow of up to a foot was expected to follow Monday. Stock market today: Rising tech stocks pull Wall Street to another record NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid mixed trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Monday after closing November at an all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared after saying an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or the company’s board. Retailers were mixed coming off Black Friday and heading into what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Cyber Monday shoppers expected to set a record on the year's biggest day for online shopping Consumers in the U.S. are scouring the internet for online deals as they look to make the most of the post-Thanksgiving shopping marathon on Cyber Monday. The National Retail Federation coined the term for the Monday after Black Friday in 2005. Even though e-commerce is now part and parcel of many people’s regular routine, Cyber Monday continues to be the biggest online shopping day of the year, thanks to steady discounts and a fair amount of hype. Several major retails actually started their Cyber Monday promotions over the weekend. Consumer spending for the online shopping days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday provides an indication of how much shoppers are willing to spend for the holidays. Panic among spectators at soccer game kills at least 56 in the West African nation of Guinea CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Officials and witnesses say chaos erupted at a soccer game in Guinea after fans protested a referee’s call and thousands of panicked spectators tried to flee the stadium, leaving at least 56 people dead in the West African nation. Local news website Media Guinea reported that security forces used tear gas. A journalist covering the game for a local sports website tells The Associated Press many of the dead were crushed as they tried to escape through the stadium gates. The world’s latest sports crowd disaster unfurled Sunday in the second-largest city in the military-run nation. Information there is sparse and government-controlled at the best of times. It was not immediately clear how much the death toll could grow.
