I can't answer for all book stores, however, I just stopped working for B & N bookstores, and I know that they were getting the books several days earlier.  Izaskun was exactly right when he said 
<<they have to sign a confidentiality agreement>>, they swear to among other things, not open the books until midnight the 21st.  Don't know if I helped at all or just repeated.
