And if it wasn't, I was mad they didn't stock it. Craziness!!!<br /><br />Quite a relief when the thing went out of print.<br /><br />Now when I go into those stores, I try to think: one year from now, most of these books will be sold or remaindered, and NEW BOOKS will have to take their places. If you think of every book as representing an agent and an editor who has already moved on and is looking for the next thing, you'll feel better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
