GiGi Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I know you mean well but I don't think anything can be done about some places releasing the book a day or two earlier than others. Like I said department stores who have employees whose only mission is to restock shelves aren't going to pay attention to release dates. Other stores like Barnes & Noble are a little more strict about only selling on the official date. Plus you've got people who get advance copies for reviews and those people may sell their copies and copies that are given out as promotions. I would think it would be impossible for publishers to police something like this. I know when your anxious to get the book, it's frustrating when you hear that someone has it a day or two before you but I don't see how that can be stopped.  My apologies if anyone is offended but what I just said. I just didn't see the point. In any case, I'm just glad that *I* can read it now, lol. The rest of it is beyond my control so I chose not to worry about it. Hi Readingrrl, Actually a lot can be done. Each of the companies who released the books early can and will be given a nice heafty fine! At the end of the day, people who got their books early got them, but what I want to see happen next time around is that everyone gets their books at the same time.  The question that will remain to be seen is whether the ladies who got their books early will have the courage to stand up for their sisters who had to wait until the actual release date of June 4th. Just remember, NO ONE has to give ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION at all!! The only thing the publishers want to know is which locations released the books early...that's it.
