who here has seen the book live and in person yet?

with the release date being today and all, I thought I'd ask who has at least seen it so far, you didn't have to buy it, just see it at a store or something. I haven't, yet.

only Barnes and Noble, from what I've heard. Also, I think Jack just said they have it, but they wouldn't let him get it.

I just got back from Barnes and noble and I couldnt find it. So I asked them to look it up and they said they didnt have it yet

, and it wasnt in the warehouse. But they could order it and it would take 3 weeks. So im just going to order it for amazon..

I called B&N yesterday and they said that they'll probably have it in within a week. Can't wait

I went to my local B&N wont get them in until ~9th. Thats sucks. I would have bought off the site if I had known I would have had to wait.

Would have thought the publisher would have sent you a copy of your own book just before the public release.
