<Borders Bookseller speaking>

My store has both of Peg's books, Emerald House Rising in mass market
paperback and Wild Swans in a lovely quality paperback.

I narrowly escaped pulling the latter, though.  Every month we get an RPL
(recommended pull list) of books we're to pull off the shelves to thin out
inventory or for poor sales.  Now Peg's book was NOT on this list, but
every so often we do "self-RPL" in which I go into my hardcover/QP section
and pull anything that dates from before 2000 to make room for new things,
except "deep stock" like Bradbury and Robert Jordan and Philip K. Dick that
stay on there no matter what.

I very nearly pulled Wild Swans, which had a date of 1999 on the back.  I
caught my error in time and put it back on the shelf.  See, I am using my
powers for good instead of evil.
