My Borders refused to give it to me until the 7th, and some Barnes and Nobles have been doing the same, but the rest are selling. Definitely call before going for that reason alone.
Is it technically legal for stores like that to sell it before the release date? It seems unusual -- I know with movies and CD's, they won't even give them to you if they get them in like a day before.
No, it's not. I know that I've asked my Barnes and Noble for books before and sometimes they told me that they had it in the back but weren't allowed to sell it until the next day or whatever.
heh...when we got the "Half-Blood Prince" books in, all the boxes were printed with "Do NOT open until July 15th!!!!!!" (or whatever the release date was)
It shouldn't matter if the book is popular or not. A lot of times the book I wanted was a five dollar paperback that was a part of a series and they still wouldn't sell it.

No, the guy at Borders reprimanded me for about ten minutes, going on about breach of contract with the publishers and how I shouldn't be trying to get it early and all this stuff.
sometimes it isn't even the book, but the strictness (or non-strictness) of the manager working when you go. Some managers at my store didn't care, and would sell it to you anyways, but others were just complete sticklers for "store protocol" lol
I informed my friend today that Anthony was in School Ties and A Beautiful Mind and she just stared at me... and then told me she'd watch them with me XD (She's already seen them). We definitely spent a good hour looking at Anthony (and Adam) stuff. Oh my, I have *no* life.
Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I still need to figure out where to get mine from. Maybe I'll try for Amazon, and get the RENT bible at the same time... Now just to figure out how to ask my parents..
