[LMB] Borders wierdness

[Katrina Allis]

Every time Lois puts out a new book, I have the same problem - no one can
get the release date right or convince the warehouse in the States to part
with it before the publication date.

This year, Baker & Taylor were giving a release date of May 2008 to the
bookstore I pre-ordered it through.  It took about ten minutes of arguing
and the staff checking Amazon before they would believe me that yes, it was
released in the States and that I knew people who had purchase it from the
bookshelves!

Another week, week and a half before they expect to have it.

...maybe next year I'll try Amazon.
