I was going to pre-order it but then I was reminded that last time I did and I waited ALL DAY in my apartment in case I would miss the UPS man and it turns out UPS gave it to USPS to deliver and they didn't deliver on time so I bought it from the grocery store with no lines or waiting. I'm shooting for that method again. :) In fact since my grocery store is open 24 hours, I may go at midnight and skulk around until they put them out and grab it then. :) It means I wouldn't have to put up with the bedlam at the bookstore.
Joanne - I'm with you on that. The same thing happened to me last year. I was waiting for the book to arrive and it didn't. I was at Wal-Mart (I never go there, but of course I'd be there on the day Harry came out) and saw tons and tons of the book everywhere, but because I knew I'd already bought and paid for it I decided not to buy it and had to wait for my copy.
When the sixth one came out DH and I went to our local B&N and the line was wrapped around the entire upstairs, down the escalator, and around the downstairs of the store.
So, we went next door to Cheesecake Factory, had drinks & appetizers, and drove a couple miles to the Kroger, and got our book on the stroke of midnight with no waiting. It was great. I think we'll do that again this summer :)
And I haven't looked at the Eqqus photos yet. Are they scandalous?
