Amazon pre-orders are usually shipped quicker than regular purchases, sometimes even before the release date. Bookstores of the brick and mortar variety must not stock their shelves with a new book until Release Date. Online vendors often have a special agreement which allows them to ship items a reasonable amount of time PRIOR to the release date so that the customer receives the item on or after the release date.

So, if you plan to attend the June 1 book signing in New Jersey, there is a good chance you will have received your copy. If not, you could purchase it at the bookstore for David to sign. Then you could return the Amazon book after it arrives.

Hope this helps. And thanks for stopping by today.
