My B&N had 6 copies, scooped 'em all up to give to friends. And that way, when I shortlist the title, I can say, "Sold all on 1 day--need more!"

And jes' a leetle bit o' blues!
Actually, Ken, lemme amplify there. In my own area of Performing Arts, the cruel Bosses do order whatever I want. That's my field of expertise, and I have a proven track record. (My area earned an extra 100 large last year on my shortlists; the district manager himself gave me a raise.) (NOT BIG ENOUGH, MARK!) However, when I venture out of the realm where I am a chieftain unchallenged 
, when I shortlist, I must truly justify my, uh...special needs. And how better than to show a proven sales record? Plus, turnin' me good buddies onto some fine fiction? Oi ask yez now!

William, I don't know, but John Philip couldn't do his band or himself wrong by playing Bob Seger's masterpiece NIGHT MOVES. (Damn...I'd pay to hear that meself!

"It means 'Ask the next question.' Ask the next question, and the one that follows that, and the one that follows that. It's the symbol of everything humanity has ever created." Theodore Sturgeon.
The Meijer near me had 3 copies of Midnight Mass and 2 copies of Gateways. 
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
