I think they were all hoping to get a signed copy from him. That’s probably equivalent to a two-week pay bonus in value. :)

I wonder if they did get a signed copy of whatever from him or maybe not. I have interviewed celebrities before and haven't asked for a signed anything as it would not be good journo ethics. Not sure if TV people are different!

Went by my local (infamous) Walmart. Was told they won't be carrying the new Stephen King novel, and in fact he doesn't even have one coming out today. Employee refused to check the back

AchtungBaby - you might want to inform Moderator - do you know the Wal Mart Store#?

Yes, please do let us know the location of that Walmart and I will pass it along to Scribner so they can have their Sales/Marketing Dept. look into it.

Sounds like a lazy employee. Or stupid management. If they can carry 50 Shades of Suck (and they do), there's nothing in Mr. King's books worse.

I've gone through this with every new King release except Revival. They had that one out. The rest I had to big enough employees until, finally, one went in the back and *ta-da* it was there!

I'm checking back after my class. It'll be around 2 or so. If it's not there then, sh*t is going down.

Ms Mod, it's the store in Jasper, AL. I dunno the store number :(

I went to K-Mart last night before right before they closed hoping they might have put them out at the last minute in order to have them available today upon opening. Alas, it looks like they’re playing by the rules. Won’t be able to pick it up today because I have to get home before the polls close.
