I had to take the rugrats out to buy a birthday present for one of their friends last night. The toy store we went to had a mini-display of 4 copies at the checkouts. I didn't bother asking if that was all they had left.

(BTW kudos to Amazon UK and the mails... my copy was shipped Friday and arrived in Monday's mail. I'm up to, umm, chapter 6 I think. So far I'm liking it much better than Order of the Phoenix.)

Pathmark has plenty, $18. ;)

I was very surprised not to find them in the Giant last Saturday.

They are also not being carried in the two major convenience store chains in the area. I suppose they really aren't that convenient.

Same story, same price at the local Targets, Bruce.

Our copy arrived about midafternoon on the sixteenth, in an Amazon carton prominently emblazoned with "Please Do Not Deliver Before July 16!" Didn't even have to sign for the parcel; reckon UPS had half a bazillion of them to deliver. I told the driver, "I dance the happy dance!" She smiled.
