jimbow8 Wrote:So it's not actually an order but a show of how many you will order? Weird. Why not just start taking orders? :confused:

cobalt79 Wrote:I have no idea. I found the e-mail message this morning. I thought I was going to be able to pre-order a copy. Instead, I can submit my e-mail address for how many I want to order. WHEN they e-mail back, it will be the release date, then I THINK I can order. Now you know why I'm confused.....:confused: :confused:

jimbow8 Wrote:I think I got the same email. Yeah, it makes no sense. If they can store your info, why not just start taking orders? Unless they can't (or aren't allowed to) take orders before an official release date. In which case, why bother signing up at all? Just wait til the date is released.

..... Now I'm just confusing myself. :p

I think somebody just got the idea in their head that 07/07/07 was somehow "significant." Unless Rowling agrees -- and finishes the book very, very soon -- I doubt that'll be the date.
