: Yves,

: thanks for those in-sights, it was not directed at the staff per se, but rather the key person (by store?) or by chain that performs the ordering. I know that generally the speed table at Borders and Barnes at most any given time will contain the same authors / books as each other for new release. The staff, I would guess, is more pivotal on re-order and stock fill backs.

: It's dissapointing, as this isn't a first novel by an unknown. 

: Regarding "WAY upstate NY", I hope that's Buffalo, Syracuse or Rochester as I've got some buds up there that wanted to check out the book and that Panno character.


: 
: : Hey Panno, 

: : I work for Borders and I can tell you that the staff in the store has actually no control on the initial shipments of the books, besides customers ordering it.

: : What is shipped to us is decided by someone based on what they deem / predict what we can sell. 

: : So criticizing the staff for not having any in stock isn't productive.

: : Management can store request products, if they think it'll sell / should be on the floor / have a lot of request for it (which is what I'm doing).

: : So the best way to get Greg's stuff in the store for you and your friends is to ask the booksellers.

: : There are 2 more Rucka fans on the managing staff besides me, I've made them addicts, so Greg is supported in WAY upstate NY.
