Now they have one less than they had earlier today. -- F.P. Kiesche III "Ah Mr. Gibbon, another damned, fat, square book. Always, scribble, scribble, scribble, eh?"

That'll teach me to go with Super Saver shipping on my preorders - it's not predicted to arrive until the 23rd! -- gwern ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fred Kiesche — 16 Mar 2010, 19:40 in reply to Gwern Branwen With the big box stores you can sometimes luck out. If a publisher has a very firm "do not sell by" policy (for example, the "Harry Potter" books), you can't find it for love or money until everybody can display it. Other publishers are not so firm. So I lucked out! > On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 3:24 PM, Gwern Branwen wrote: > On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 2:51 PM, Fred Kiesche > wrote: > > The B&N at Princeton Marketfair had several copies of "The Sorcerer's > > House" > > when I stopped in.

One was on reserve for another customer, and I picked up the only free copy. > On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 2:51 PM, Fred Kiesche wrote: > The B&N at Princeton Marketfair had several copies of "The Sorcerer's > House" when I stopped in.

No decent independents in the area and the big-box stores stock far fewer good books than they should. -Matt > On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 4:12 PM, Milton Jackson wrote: > My local B&N had two copies in stock.
