<TAKEN  FROM MUGGLENET.COM>:

It has  emerged that some book stores in the UK are not 
required to keep a written agreement preventing them 
from selling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows before 
its release next Friday. <snip>

Robert:
The parents of a friend of mine own a book store and while 
they agree not to SELL highly anticipated books like the 
HPs before the announced sale date, nothing stops them or 
their family members from reading the books as soon as the 
shipments arrive in the store. (This can be from a week to 
two weeks ahead in some cases.) This is something my friend 
does constantly and he does post spoilers at various forums 
of HP, Star Wars and Star Trek books, and only one Yahoo 
group that I know of. (Don't worry, not this one.).  I would 
say starting today, definitely after Monday be careful what 
spoilers you read online if you want to be unspoiled. I'm 
sure he's not the only bookstore owner's kid who does this.
