It doesn't necessarily matter what date is printed on the box. What matters is the contract/agreement B&N has with the publisher for a specific book. If a book is not on B&N's internal SOS list, then the book can be put out as soon as it arrives, no matter what date is printed on the box. Thus, one will often find books on the sales floor several days earlier than the "publication/SOS" date, and no violation will have taken place if someone buys a copy or three before that date.

I discovered your book after O.S.Card praised it (and you) on his website. I was not disappointed. LOVED it! Since I usually "listen" to my books while I work, I was hoping with NOTW's success and all that there would be an audio version, but I was disappointed to discover there wasn't one. Will there be one soon? I'm feeling a Kvothe fix coming on and I can't afford to use my eyes for reading right now. My ears are itching to hear his tale again. Congratulations on the paperback!

That way the library can put the books on the shelf on the same day as the "strict-on-sales" date.</></>Just think...when "Wise Man's Fear" comes out, it'll just be sitting there in the back of the library for DAYS, with a piece of paper stuck to it that says "Don't shelve until April 1, 2009". : ) Ah, the temptations of being a librarian.
