 Are you saying B&N normally carries or has available PI, but they banned
this issue? That's almost funny. They can sell Playboy, Playgirl, Playdog,
and many other play-thing mags, but heaven forfend that they should have an
issue that featured sex and puppets!! 
 I for one am going to try to find time to let them know my opinion on this.
I spend a lot at B&N and will let them know that too. This doesn't make me a
happy consumer.
