Harry Potter Release
I hit the Harry Potter wall at book 3 a few years back. Fortunately, I still appreciate the die hard Harry Potter fan and support any and all in this literary journey. I received this e-mail from our Children's Book buyer this morning. Yet another reason to look forward to summertime.

did i ever tell you about the time in LA a couple summers ago when we ended up at barnes and noble at 10 pm on the same night that everyone was dressed like wizards in anticipation of the book, and told people that this other store had started selling it early, and told some other people that we already read it and they didnt want to read it because harry potter dies at the end? that was pretty terrible of us. but we were the same scoundrels that told magic mountain we were handicapped and went straight to the front of the line on every roller coaster, so it figures.
