I tried to buy it at my local Barnes and Noble Sunday night at 10 pm, and was told by a nervous manager that if they sold it to me even two hours before the "embargo" ended, "the publisher would see it on the computer and we'd be fined."

I bought this book on Monday morning at the Borders on the corner of Broadway and Wall Street. That morning it was displayed prominently on top of the table by the front door. It just so happened that I also bought a book for my nephew, which I had to return yesterday. Yesterday, Justice Thomas' book was nowhere to be seen. I spent a while looking for it, and I finally found it underneath the same table, and in the back, away from the door. The spot that it formerly occupied was now taken by Bill Clinton's book on charity. Above Justice Thomas' book, on top of the table in the back, was Jimmuh's book on who know (and who cares) what. This is par for the course for NYC liberals who can't do better than minimum wage jobs. It's too bad for Borders, of course, because the newest book, which is currently appearing on 60 minutes and Hannity is going to be the hottest seller. I thought about pointing this out to the manager, but then decided to spare myself the attitude and the aggravation. If these liberal bookstores insist on driving customers to the internet, just like the dinosaur media before them, that's their problem, not mine.
