Is it technically legal for stores like that to sell it before the release date?

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

Yet he sold it anyway?

No, I called Barnes and Noble next and they gave it to me.

...except technically employees can get fired for selling it to you early :)

And the stores can get in big trouble if they get caught doing that.

I can't wait until everyone gets it so I can discuss it with you guys. I don't want to say anything to ruin it!!

I just finished watching Adventures in Babysitting, it's just been an Anthony filled day

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.

I want my book now

[pengwendolyn]

Posted: 2/4/06 at 10:52pm

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..

I hope he comes back to the board soon, there's so much I want to ask him.

[RENThead414]

Posted: 2/4/06 at 11:36pm

you *could* PM him...

Posted: 2/4/06 at 11:49pm

tsk, tsk... :)

:p Yeah, well, I wanted to read it in its entirety before I go to the booksigning on Wednesday, and I wasn't sure if I'd have to stop and take breaks. I had been hearing a lot about how emotional some parts got, and I was especially worried how I'd be around the parts with his mother.

The one thing I hate about online communications is that you can never tell exactly how people are saying things.

Morning, people. I'm reading Anthony's book now and I love it.

[catharsis]

Posted: 2/5/06 at 9:51am

I can't wait to get it! It should be on my doorstep sometime next week, courtesy of Barnes & Noble.

But I guess it's completely awesome, eh?

[RENThead414]

Posted: 2/5/06 at 10:18am

Beyond completely awesome. PHENOMINAL.

On VH1.com, they have the end of "Goodbye Love" if you go to the main site for Rent. I can see why they took it out of the movie, since it is rather slow-moving, but still, it's a very important part of the story for character development (well, at least the Roger/Mark fight).

[opiv]

It does get really emotional, have tissues handy.

[RENThead414]

Posted: 2/5/06 at 11:16am

Yeah, ditto on the kleenex. It even made *me* cry, which is really hard to do (well, unless you're an evil evil person who leaves 8 dogs alone in Antarctica...)
