I am heading out the door for my own shiny copy! They'd better have one!

Apparently I was correct and it is not out until next month. Thank you so very much for sending me out for a book that doesn't exist.
NOT cool.

The Borders website (bordersstores.com) claims that the publishing date is August 2006. Which seems more accurate, given that people are buying it... in August... 2006...

My darling Phoenix Rose,

Please don't be cranky. I also went to B&N, and they said that it was in their warehouses already. Take it from a former employee, you can't always trust the website, you have to go to a store, and ask an associate to see their warehouse inventory. I have mine already.

So please my dear, simmer down!

Mal: You know, you ain't quite right.

I can't get it anywhere yet either. A call to Borders and they tell me 1st Sept, B&N said they would have it for me in 2 days then when pushed admitted that they don't get it till September, and my Amazon order won't come till 3rd Sept. I am not happy.

The B&N web site also says it ships within 24 hours, so which is it?

Btw, I called every B&N in the San Francisco Bay Area and they are all sold out! Said the only store that had any copies left is in Gilroy, which is about an hour's drive away (without traffic)!

I did go to the store and was told in no uncertain terms that they had no copies and would have no copies until September and I was basically an idiot for thinking otherwise. When I said I'd heard it was out, in stores, and being bought, eyes were rolled at me. So yeah, not in the best mood.

Not sure what happened where you are PhoenixRose. My Barnes & Noble had 5 copies sitting on the shelf. Granted they had them in the Roleplaying section instead of the TV/Film section, but they had them.

Must be some stores are getting them early & putting them out.
