I think it makes the release an event when a book is as anticipated as this one.<BR/><BR/>Do you remember all the agreements that bookstores had to sign when a new Harry Potter was about to come out? They had swear they would not sell the books or even open the boxes before the appointed hour, the stroke of midnight. <BR/><BR/>I just love the anticipation I see in the kids' faces. It was interesting to read RRR's post a few months ago about their decision NOT to issue ARCs for this one. <BR/><BR/>Watching librarians behaving badly at TLA last year (scooping up 3 or 4 copies of the ARC) I could fully understand their decision. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait to get mine.Camillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.com
