Or maybe they sold out already. You're making a really big
jump to a possibly dubious conclusion.
It's impossible for any store, big or small, despite the best
of intentions, to stock EVERYTHING. Our local B&N has
several copies of Jason's book, for example, but that doesn't
mean every store in the chain will. Or will have it in stock
when a customer wants it.
Don't ever shrug off ordering a book. It doesn't cost any
more, and it usually only takes a few days (unless it's a
rare book or a lame store), and ordering a book tells someone
somewhere that people do want that book. Always a good
thing.

Well, I got mine at MYSTERIES TO DIE FOR in Thousand Oaks and
had it signed by the man himself, although the highlight had
to be the guy who wandered in and wondered whether "that
kind" of book should be sold in a mystery bookstore.
I tell ya, the Rare-Birds in attendance had a good time with
that one.
Any comments about "that kind" of book, guys?
