	Heather Reisman: Cautiously, Respectfully Bullish - 4/29/2002 - Publishers Weekly
		Reisman finds it hard to say what the ideal number of stores would be--a matter of intense interest to the industry--but she does disclose that there are five or six superstores that she is considering closing or downsizing over the next year or so.
		Reisman says she is a big fan of Canadian books in particular, and plans to further focus on promoting Canadian titles in her stores in the future.
		Reisman acknowledges that in the months immediately after the merger, some titles may not have received the attention they deserved, but says the company is working to remedy that situation.

	Eye Weekly - The vanishing bookstore - 06.17.04
		That's what Heather Reisman said she's intending to operate around the country when she announced her plan for Chapters/Indigo was to introduce more gifts.
		Their infrastructure costs are so high that the drive for extreme levels of revenue in what is, by definition, a low-margin business forces not only the sorts of discount demands that can hobble publishers and authors, but the necessity to sell things with higher profit margins, like yoga mats and cookware.
		Heather Reisman is an elephant stepping into a swamp and deciding to set up house.

		Reisman, if that is indeed her name, is the proprietress of Chapters-Indigo-Aliases R Us, and is famous for ostentatiously announcing the simultaneous banning from all her chains of Mein Kampf, which is tough on visitors from the Middle East, where the new Arabic edition is a bestseller.
		Reisman, and thus her "World's Biggest Bookstore" was reduced to filling the front tables with a groaning cornucopia of thousands of copies of unreadable anti-Bush tracts (Dumbass) faute de mieux: Chapters chose to order that stuff.
		Reisman sells a heck of a lot of her books at full pop and, even when she doesn't, a discount in excess of 30% is pretty much unheard of other than on very old stock being remaindered out.

		Heather Reisman ("Indigo"/"Chapters") and Gerry Schwartz have left the Liberal Party and now support the Conservatives and Stephen Harper solely because of Harper's strong support for Israel.
		In my book, Reisman and Schwartz are opportunists who cannot see beyond the rim of their (limited) personal "reality" they've created for themselves.
		Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz are no longer true philantropists as they are helping not helping fellow their fellow humans anymore but instead has define their philantrohic work along religious, geography, and ethnic lines.

		But last spring, soon after entrepreneur Heather Reisman opened her flagship store (joined earlier this month by a second Toronto location near Bay and Bloor), her highly educated and well-read young employees did what pissed-off workers always try to do -- start a union.
		Then Reisman started to cry, the single incident that many of the staff feel changed the course of events.
		But Reisman agrees with the union organizers on one point -- she did "personalize" the dispute.

		It needs to be explained exactly why you and I should accept the views of people who believe that their dogma and political posturing should be put ahead of the wellbeing of the citizens of this nation.
		Congratulations to the Reisman and Schwartz’s even though their loyalty seems to be based more on the love of their ersatz homeland than this nation which has allowed them to prosper.

		Gerry Schwartz and Heather Reisman, centre at the back, with some of the soldiers in Heseg, the program to aid ‘lone soldiers.’
		A fortuitous walk on the waterfront in Athens during the Olympic Games two years ago has led to the creation of a unique program to aid “lone soldiers” in Israel.
		Two years ago, Schwartz had never heard of “lone soldiers.” At the time, he was searching for a way to help young people in Israel when a security guard assigned to protect him, Reisman and a second high profile couple in Athens planted the seed.

		At start-up Indigo Books and Music Inc., meanwhile, founder Reisman and financial backer (and husband) Gerry Schwartz of Onex LBO fame will have just three superstores up and running by year’s end.
		Despite her late start, Reisman is strangely sanguine: During the preparations for the opening of her very first store, in Burlington, Ont., she ducked out for a two-week vacation in superstore-challenged Turkey.
		If you’re making book on this war of words, the odds are better than 20 to 3 in favour of Stevenson.
