Well, I finally got around to trading in my second copy of PoA
yesterday. Since my grandmother lost my copy of PS (as well as my sister
can't seem to find my copy of CoS), I decided to go for a hardcover
copy of PS. When I walked into the bookstore, there was a big table
right out front, covered in a red cloth. There were box-like shapes
under the cloth. Around the table were various signs about Harry Potter
and their launching party (which doesn't happen till 2pm Saturday). I
was really tempted to peek under the cloth, but was discouraged by a
beefy security guard hired to stand by the table. With all the trouble
I've been having lately with false info on my credit rating, I figured
the last thing I need is a police file stating something like "arrested
while trying to sneak a peak at the cover of a popular children's novel
before it's release". Guess I'm going to have to wait till Saturday like
everyone else....
