Amazon just shipped mine. YES.

I went to a Waldenbooks in the mall yesterday and could only find one copy.

Is there a link from this site to the page at amazon.com? I know amazon used to have a program where you could make a little commision if people bought from your web link. I think I even saw a post in the forum refering to it, but I couldn't find any link the other day.

My Borders bookstore has sold out before I even got a copy and I was on their waiting list!

Since my original post I have received my 2nd copy I ordered from Amazon and will be revisiting the bookstore this evening that told me none would be available until Sept. 25th.

Methinks that Regnery Publishing REALLY underestimated the size of the first printing!

Very Happy

Went to Borders in Avon/Simsbury CT (good sized store) today and got dead-ended at first. "Huh?" like they never heard of the book but with a funny look on their face I thought (could be just me). Then I quick-switched into "free lance journalist doing a story" mode (I have done just enough of that work to avoid getting black spot on my soul, barely)**. I found out that they (a) had a grand total of 5 copies of "Unfit" allotted to the store and they were all gone "instantly", (b) Maureen Dowd's "Bushworld" they had a whole bunch of, initial shipment of 40 copies and more on order even though they weren't moving too briskly (c) the store managers sort of/'kind of remember "some controversy about a lawsuit or embargo or something" that might be holding things up; I thought I felt a certain tension that shouldn't exist in a bookstore, of all places. At least not in the USA. Maybe someone at Regnery could find out what's up at Borders.

Small silver lining: when I commented about the big pile of "My Life" Clinton books dominating the "nonfiction bestseller" section, the response was "we can't seem to unload them, they are not moving".

** Well-- this is free lance, right?

Jeff-

I, too, got some cockamamie story from Borders about this and that, And the Maryland store this and software glitch that....and possible screwup here..(it went on).

There is a DEFINITE tension in our Borders store. WE went in to check on the status of the book and my husband and I were treated to unsolicited comments trashing the book by the informational guy who is suppose to be helping us! I just asked to speak with the manager. He's a right to his opinion of course, IF WE HAD asked for it. Thus, one more angry and uninformed Kerry Supporter reguritating lines and lashing out. Pitiful

I found my copy at Waldenbooks here in Austin, Texas, one day prior to its supposed release date. It was the last copy they had; they'd sold out in a few hours! The B&N's in town, as well as Border's Books, are decidedly unexcited to report that they "think" it will be in stock some time in September. B. Dalton seems not to carry anything but Bill Clinton and Al Franken in their sorry little politics and culture section. I interpret it as great good news that the book seems to be evaporating from the retail shelves. The folks at the publisher Regnery must be working overtime and patting themselves on the back all the way to the bank! They deserve the praise, it took courage to publish this book.

They will all, no doubt, have lots of copies of F9/11 the Tuesday it is released...

I'm guessing that the barking moonbats reported all the good reviews to the site administrators, as I did the barking moonbat reviews. I reported one negative review, but not the other. The one I didn't report wasn't written in the frothing maniac style so I didn't find it offensive. The admins may have decided not to post reviews because there are too many ringers.

Ordered mine on the 6th & Amazon is still showing a 26th - 28th (August) delivery schedule. Tried finding the book at Borders and BooksaMillion in Knoxville this weekend and they were out.
