Another source to check is ebay. On 8/21 there were about 14 sellers offering Unfit for Command. I recommend that you go around Barnes and Noble since they will probably drag their feet so customers loose interest or give up in buying the book, another better source is Amazon.com I was able to get two copies promptly back in mid August.

My son works at B-A M, bought his grandmother 1 copy of the 25 they got in!!! (that's a good boy).
He told me that a B-A-M warehouse got broke into and 14,000 copys were stolen this last week.
I don't know if its true, but that's what he was told. More copys due in later next week.

Thank you all for the GREAT work you are NOW doing to KEEP our country GREAT.
Thank you also for the WORK you have done in the past. The people of this land "OWE" you BIG TIME !!!

Wow! Warehouse break is a new excuse.
I called every Barnes and Noble in Denver yesterday searching for a copy of the book.
It almost sounded like a talking point memo. They all blamed the publisher of the book.
Not one Barnes and Noble in Denver Colorado had a single copy. They also told me to give up trying to find one anywhere.
I thought that was an interesting reply.

It is very interesting to me, just to hear the experiences. Seems that the book is a very hot topic for many book stores.
