Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

If it's not a strict-on-sale title (mostly major releases, like the next Harry Potter book), it goes on sale the day it arrives in the store.

Is this common knowledge? I'd never heard this before. (I'm not complaining, though, because I got my book a week earlier than I planned.)

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

Is this common knowledge? I'd never heard this before. (I'm not complaining, though, because I got my book a week earlier than I planned.)

I don't think it's commonly known, although it's not really a secret. I wish I had a picture of our receiving department, because it's really not as big as people think. There's no way it could hold each book that arrives until the anticipated sale date. Basically, what you see on the shelves on the book floor is what we have, unless something just arrived in the day's shipments. So, only a selected group of books are SOS (determined by the publisher) and they come in boxes clearly warning not to break the date. Those are the only books where the release date matters. Otherwise, books are on the shelves within a day of when they're received, regardless of the projected release date.

An example of the audio exception is happening right now with the new book by Sue Monk Kidd (The Secret Life of Bees), The Mermaid Chair. We can't sell you the book until April 5 because of SOS, but in this case, the audio isn't SOS (sometimes it is), so you can walk in and buy the audio format today.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I didn't get the slut, but I'll take the mirror-image slut.

Although 1002 is probably more appropriate for the metaphorical mirrors in the 'verse (what with the not-quite symmetry), but that would be gratuitous slutting.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Gratuitous Slut!
