aahhhhh, this only works if they put the books out on the shelf... my local
borders likes to do this lovely little number where it takes them a week to get
new titles out onto the floor. they're very sorry, it's in the store, they just
haven't unpacked it yet. i've wanted to take them by their collective collar
and shake them and tell them how i've been waiting for that book for months and
how i CAN'T wait another week to read it. buuuuuut that might result in things
like policemen and padded white rooms and it might be a little longer than a
week before i was able to read the book, so i refrain. =)

You're assuming the bookstore ordered equal numbers in the first
place, which is highly unlikely.

One of the reasons I prefer Borders is that their website allows you
to search the inventories of local stores, so you know before you
leave home whether they have it in stock.
