Diane the non-hardback buyer says:
>I was in a Border's Bookstore today and was told by the clerk that

>very hard to believe, but wondered what anyone else has heard?

I work at an indy bookshop and we've heard nothing of the sort. Our 
children's book specialist has been in weekly contact with her Scholastic 
rep. regarding book 5 and she hasn't heard a word of this. In any event it 
makes no sense given that the hardback sales are gauranteed to break records 
initially but the long term money will be (as it has been so far) in the 
paperbacks. 
I'd suggest you go back to that Borders and ask to speak to that clerk's 
supervisor. It sounds to me like a bored yahoo with a cruel sense of humor is 
getting his or her jollies by making up stories.
