[madmom]

last night on Countdown KO said it was due out next month I checked on the publisher's site it said Sept.11 Now I wonder how did my SO get a copy of this book? We also noticed the cover is different than the one they showed.It was bought at a book store chain.:shrug:

3. So, how is it?

Not that it's important, but when he's on Keith's show, you've got two of the snappiest dressers out there vying for number 1 - and often it's John Dean who has the best tie.

6. It's those damn Harry Potter leakers again.

I hear they photographed copies of every page and sent them down the tubes of the Interwebs.

Don't anyone spoil it for me. I'll be so depressed if I find out that George's presidency survives.

7. Could be a media copy

Could be that the store bought or came into contact with media contact issues and the chain decided to sell them (even though I think that is illegal) At work, I work at a newspaper, we always get copies in advance for our entertainment reporters to read and review. I just finished a book that said it's not going to be released until Oct. Inside the flap was a press release telling what the book was about, other facts, etc.

8. He said it's a definate must read, very scathing of the repug party,

he bought it at Bookland which is subsidiary of Books a Million, it was on the shelf with social science books.Should we be worried? I asked him if he was cia he said no but.......

He also said there are things in it that he can't believe they let get published!

9. I have some answers

I work for a book store chain "Books-a-Million".

I saw it out on my shelves today. I didn't think it was out until September, but I didn't say anything.

I have to assume that whomever works the stock room simply made a mistake and released it early. This sort of thing happens from time to time. Last month the store erroneously released the new Paula Dean calendar.

Unless it's a Harry Potter or some super-secret book, there isn't that much scrutiny when it comes to release date.

10. that's good to know, but I wonder what would account for the different cover?
