[HPforGrownups] NON-Spoiler Question...

[ambiree at students.bradley.edu]

No: HPFGUIDX 59677

Hi, all,

>From what I understand, (I work at a Waldenbooks), we are getting the book on 
the 20th. However, we will not be opening @ midnight like everyone else.  It is 
my understanding that we will be unpacking them Friday afternoon and ensuring 
we have enough copies to cover all our pre-orders and calling people to remind 
them that they have a book on hold that will be available to them at 8:00 am 
the next morning.  I could be wrong, but I know that I am being roped into 
working and that I will not be working alone so I can't get a sneak 
peek...unless of course I have to put in the security stickers to prevent theft.

Amber---whose mantra for the day is 12 days, 12 days, 12 days, 12 days.....
