Went to the Barnes and Noble near my house in Northern Virginia. It is sold out. Wow. I have never heard of that happening with a bestseller new release.

I was at his signing in Portland on Wednesday and not only had Powell's sold out of their entire stock (350 - 400 copies) but almost every store within a 30 mile radius was also sold out! Patrick was actually taking down the names and numbers of people who weren't able to get a copy in time for the signing. He's such a nice guy! :D

When I went to the local B&N to pick up my copy Tuesday night, I couldn't find it for 10 minutes. Finally I had to ask the staff, who showed me a display rack nowhere near the SF/Fantasy section and about 10 feet further back from the new arrivals shelves. It was annoying. There were a lot of copies of the book in the display rack though.

good point peter. I made sure to ask. I went to Borders too. They are out. I have never seen this happen.
I guess, Patrick won't have to boil paper to make it sound like soup any more.

I'm just hoping he actually gives a chunk of his proceeds to Joss Whedon, like he said on his blog.

The New York times bestseller list does not appear to have updated. Is this common?
-
NYT list is always a week behind. They send out an email to publishers, but the online and print lists won't change until later.
But Wise Man's Fear will hit #1 on the March 20th list. This was announced yesterday.

Peter: where was that announced?
-
Tor.com and Daw both announced it on Twitter.
