I agree. B&N should not have had them out and the clerk rang it up for you. At least you didn't steal it. THAT would have been wrong. I actually went to our B&N and looked around for boxes. I was not as lucky as Ineedyourhelp.

I couldn't get one and I work there. "DO NOT RELEASE UNTIL SALE DATE" Big letters. I like my job better than I like Lemony Snicket, I am sorry to say.

It was a Barnes and Noble, and i dont think they knew that they leaked it, cauze they were sitting in boxes in a back corner and i picked one up and asked the guy at the register if i could buy it and he said "sure, why not?". I dont think he knew what he was doing, but i got the book anyway. I work in a bookstore (a big one) and this is an obvious fabrication. The newly shipped books are kept in the back, in a room with a keycode, which customers cannot just "pick up." Furthermore, if a book is sold before its release date, that results in bad things for the store, most importantly the publisher will refuse to sell their books in the store, and from HarperCollins, that would be a huge loss to chain bookstores. While it's cute that you want to be so cool for having read a book before anyone else, I know from personal experience that bookstores utilize MANY methods to keep books unreleased before their laydown dates.

Well actually I have a few questions, that maybe some people can help me with. First of all, how do people on this forum/board, know what will happen in TPP, if the book has not yet been released in America? My local Walmart began selling it early, probably an employee who didn't know to wait. The VFDoor is opened by a clue about Olaf's past. It comes into play. You have to read it to understand it fully. The sugar bowl, or Vessel For Dissacharides, is on its way to the hotel. This is one of the reasons so many volunteers and villains are gathering, but not the only one. It depends on how pessimistic you are. I don't think we'll really find out until book 13. No problem. I hope you enjoy the book. It's been my favorite so far.

It is now released, in New York, and other Eastern Standard Time states. I think that gives all who have read it free reign to write whatever they pease about the novel.
