First of all, you don't need to reserve the book to get deep discounts ... just buy it during the first weekend. Borders is selling it at 40% off to all comers ... and I read in ze L.A. Times that most bookstores are following suit ... so as not to be shut out of the masses of customers who will be crowding the stores. Harry Potter will be used as a loss-leader and, ironically, the biggest selling book of the year will end up, according to this story, making zero profits for booksellers.
I also read in today's L.A. Times about the various bookstore festivities around town ... and it seems the Barnes & Noble at the Grove has got them all beat, with a live rock band providing the beat - in addition to all the usual trivia, costumes, characters, etc.
I wanna join in the energy and excitement! I'm not even buying the book (it's being shipped to me), but I want to go to the hottest last Harry Potter book party possible. Anyone else interested in hitting the B&N at The Grove Friday night???
