He might actually be right. I hear the book is in its 4th printing BECAUSE OF ACTUAL ORDERS. The local shops may be having trouble getting it.
I ordered my copy from Amazon tonight - it's supposed to be here by August 23-25. The store is lying .. or they're not carrying the book.
Go get 'em Hildy .. it's about time these book stores get a grip and realize people want to read the truth .. not the left wing drivel. And you're right .. Regnery is not a small publisher. They do Ann Coulter's books and they specialize in conservative books.
What bothers me most about these bookstores is their attitude. Whatever happened to "the customer is always right". Guess they don't believe it anymore.
Hubby & I was quite shocked to see the B&N in Salem NH have the book sitting right out at the registers on Friday night. And a few copies up stairs in the featured section. When we were checking out with book in hand, I remarked to the clerk I was told at another place it wouldn't be out until 9/1. The clerk said that the publisher did a quick first run to help relieve early demands, then he chuckled saying that won't help, all these books will be gone in 24 hours once word get out. Guess this store is republican friendly :-)
