Quote: NEW YORK Barnes & Noble (BN) founder and Chairman Leonard Riggio has told the book seller he is going to try to buy the company's retail business. [CBS News]Barnes & Noble was founded by Mr. Barnes and Mr. Noble early in the 20th century. Riggio bought out what had become a failing business in the 1970s.
