My dinky little LCS was only ordering 2 copies about a month and a half ago. I asked him to order 5 copies just for me so he upped his order to 10. When they came in wednesday, there were people standing in the store waiting on them. A couple people complained when clint (owner), put 5 copies in my box and had none for them. The other 5 got snapped up, none actually made it to the shelf. The owner bags and boards every book you buy for free, and when i say my copies were pristine, i mean it. I don't think i've ever got such nice books, and thats tough to say given image's fascination with white front and back covers lately. Honestly though i like the minimalist feel of the cover art such as Nowhere Men, Manhattan Projects, EoW and so on.
I tried to explain to one guy that previews puts their book out for a reason. I told him to go through it every month and whatever books he has a good feeling about then preorder a handful of copies.
I think all 10 copies were spoken for as soon as they were taken out of the box!
