Maybe you should pre-order the audio, too.  They're released at the same
time...or at least within a day.  Up until now, I've always been able to get
the Jim Dale audios at the release date.

Okay, I have another vent/thought/etc., or a coulda-woulda-shoulda.  I know
we're all itching for HBP, but I seriously think JKR and publishers missed a
most fantastic marketing ploy for the book.  If they had pushed the release
date back to July 31, Harry's Birthday...ah! Celebrate Harry's birthday and
read his new adventure, or something like that..and the Bookstore parties
could really have been a super-blast!

<Sigh>...Opportunity Lost.

Cheers,
