I am signed up for one of the fortypercentoff advance-order copies at my local B&N. However, I'm going to be in Tulsa at Conestoga that weekend, and won't be in to pick up my copy until Sunday-suppertime. The clerk I talked to said he would put a note on my name in the list to set a copy in the ordinary shelf for ordered-books, but he really couldn't guarantee the store wouldn't go ahead and sell every copy they get in anyway. There is going to be a Harry Potter party on Ffiday at Conestoga, though, with one of THEIR dealers offering discounted sales (10 or 15 percent) for about an hour past midnght. Do I take the sure-thing lesser discount or hold my breath and hope the local Barnes really will save me a 40% off copy until Sunday evening?
If they DON'T, and if they then tell me I'll have to pay full price for a copy out of the next batch in, it will get Very Interesting. Sharon is interning at a local TV station: one which has an "on your side" investigative reporter. If it's a slow enough week otherwise, he MIGHT be interested in this...
