its an engineered "shortage", I am convinced of it. B&N and all the rest is hoping this demand bubble blows over, so they don't have stock in it right now when people want it, and hope people won't come back to get it after the hoopla blows over.

I thought so, too. And it really centers on the issue of them not wanting to meet the demand because they disagree with the topic and our right to read it. Who, really, who can remember when a book publisher and a book seller didn't want to work overtime and take pre-orders to try to SELL books and meet the demand and make money!!

I can be very patient. I think, too, they are hoping, if we REALLY must have it, that we will order online and not pollute their store with it - even though their job is ...books! And the snide clerks who are so far leftie they can barely function, just absolutely gritting their teeth when they have to deal with one of 'those' people. (My experience when I tried to find Peggy Noonan's book at a Waldenbook).

Just looking around today, I saw all manner of books with every kind of opinion and fact and subject matter. That this one book can be so offensive and that one man can have so much power as to stifle - or try to- free speech, while shelves are stocked with Moore's filth, is a little scary and Hitleresque.
