TLC (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron) reported this morning that one copy 
got "accidentally" sold in upstate New York at a drugstore.  It's very 
strange, but I think I might believe them.  After all, one can easily 
see an employee of a drugstore coming in early one morning and 
unwittingly unpacking the books and setting them out without realizing 
what he was dealing with.  The article says the books were pulled from 
the shelves after about an hour.
