Dear All, also

I was also at the local B & N this week that has the same deal going
with extra hours added on the 8th.  When I asked the young lady at the
information desk why all the extra time, she informed me they had had
100,000 orders for the book already reserved.  Even at half that number,
that is a large number of customers to service in a few days.

Chris, who has hers reserved at a small, quiet, locally owned bookstore
that gave a 15% discount for prepaying.
