Hi blackballed,

We took a try (not sure it was exactly what you were going for, lol).

Please let me know if I posted this incorrectly (long time lurker yada yada).

CP24 with Katie just a few mins ago. The usual Brazen 2 grew out of discoveries within Traveller was also mentioned, but I'm pretty sure the mayors office bit is new.

I hate twitter, which I haven't mastered - but it seems Chapters is having issues with some stores refusing...I think I managed to let Doolittle, Chapters and Penguin know about my 'hood. Grrrrr.

I know I know, but now that it ran my Book City out of the 'hood it's the only one w/in walking/transit distance...unless Walmart has it, and you know, then Chapters is the lesser of two evils...

Chapters website shows it with a Feb. 4th release date, $14.97 pre-order price, hence obvious confusion. I bought it this morning on iTunes for $14.99, they show the release date of Feb 3rd.
 
I bought it at Ben McNally (Bay & Richmond). I had just left my bank this morning and was about to head up to the Eaton Centre when I remembered that there was an indie shop nearby. Excuse the soapbox, but I really do think it's healthy to support indie book and record shops when possible. They're wonderful things and they need our business to continue.

Good call. Was just about to head to Chapters, but I'll hit Ben McNally later today instead. Thanks!
 
Whoever goes tonight better take lots of notes about who was there and what was said. I hope they have good security because you'll never know how Ford nation will behave.

I'm hoping this doesn't get lost in the book excitement ... beaglelover, any talk about making a video? I've already listened to it several times, and am sharing it with others, too. Really great job.
