For the first time ever, I'm unable to find a Bradbury book on the day it was published. I have two Borders, one Barnes & Noble as well as an independent bookstore and none of them show the book being on its way, much less in the stor.

I have the day off! I want to read it. What gives?

Has anyone else had trouble finding the book this morning?

Some of the less reputable booksellers made the book available last week, when they received their shipment. My guess is that your BN and Borders have the books sitting all boxed up in the back room. The Mega bookshops are cutting back on staffing so it probably takes longer for stuff to be put on the shelves.

Golly...Borders #1 said they weren't scheduled to receive any, Borders #2 said they showed a release date of last month & weren't scheduled to receive any; luckily Barnes & Noble went into "the back room" and got me one of the two copies they had.

At least I got one!

Gosh, my local independentbookseller had twenty copies they set out first thing when they opened. Give me a mom and pop store over a meglomart any day.
