Well, I bought mine from B & N online.  I *still* haven't gotten 
them.  (It may be a problem with my postperson--I don't know)  I 
thought that they'd be all sold out by the time I got to the store on 
Tuesday (my day off).  We walked into Books-A-Million, & there they 
were, big as life, in a *huge* Harry Potter display.  *I could have 
bought them & read them 10 times by now!!*  

I also bought the UK versions from Amazon.co.uk.  Through a mistake 
(mine) I ordered 2 copies of each of the books.  If someone would 
like to buy a copy, just e-mail me & let me know.  They've already 
shipped them out (& I ordered just last night!), so I should have 
them fairly soon.  

Peace & Plenty,

Parker
