For the last book, I waited with the dressed-up crowd at the local Border's for my 2 reserve copies. The next morning, my wife bought a 3rd copy at BJ's Wholesale for less with no waiting and plenty leftover. I think they even beat out Walmart's price across the street pricewise. The atmosphere at Border's was nice (great to see so many kids interested in reading !) but this time, I think I'll pop a DVD in the player, relax, avoid the traffic hassles (and police blockade from the overflowing Border's partking lot) and just wait for the morning after.
