[HPFGU-OTChatter] Anybody work in a book store?

[tasha]

Im currently working at Waldenbooks seasonal and I can tell you how many people have come into the store and reserved a copy. Let me tell you a secret. If you go into Waldenbooks and you ask to get a Preferred Reader card and then reserve your copy of OoF you will 10% off right then and there and when the book comes you will 30% off when you pick it up and pay for the rest of the book. The book at Waldenbooks is going to be $35.95 and you can put a down payment on it until it comes. We definitly have a sign on the counter and all over the walls saying how long the book will come and we even reserved a shelf to put the books in and a big banner saying "This is for the great Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheniox all hail to this shelf and bow before it knowing he is the one and the only to save us all from Lord Voldemort" its funny i know but do you know how tense the employees are? They are so crazy that they dont know what they are doing especially when someone comes up to them about a question of Harry Potter and they turn to me for the questions. I just love being the all knowing Harry Potter fanatic. Tasha

  After all the interesting conversation about people's jobs, I was hoping I 
might find someone who worked in a bookstore that will be getting shipments 
of OotP. I'd love to interview you for my HP project, as the people at my 
local bookstores are rather dull and not very helpful. Lots of uh's and "I 
don't know". 

  This has nothing to do with getting an advance copy of the book, btw. All 
the fun is in waiting after all. I'd just like to ask questions along the 
lines of how many books you'll be getting, how many people have reserved a 
copy, if you have a countdown sign, etc. It'd be mighty helpful!

Thanks, and here's hoping at least one person works in a book store,
