I'm hoping I will be able to go to my local Border's, but because it's being released on a weekday there's a chance I won't be able to attend the party. Either way, I will get the book. | |

Is Borders owned by Barnes & Noble? I think I'll wait until it's out and I can just go to a bookstore and get it myself. Thank you.... or order it at Amazon.

Oh yeah well I was really depressed since I had gone to a Borders like a month ago and the guy at the desk said flat out no when I asked him if they were gonna have a party  ....but then this weekend I went to a different one and they said they would most likely have one since they were getting so many reservations

There was talk of that but I don't think they are, currently. Quote:

The casing, mostly. If you follow the Amazon links you can look/read for yourself. Quote:
