   Mine is in the post ;-)

   However. Having read The Half Blood Prince a good while ago, I think I am going to read it again first so I get a better sense of what has happened.

   Pam, right. Anne finished it last night before dinner. Now it’s going to Bonnie who will read it to Erin.

   We had a bit of a hoohah here in Malaysia during the launch of the latest (and last) Harry Potter. At the very last minute, two hypermarkets advertised that they would be selling the book at a hefty RM40/- (approximately US$10/-) discount and in response, three of the major bookstores announced they would not sell the book. There was quite a bit of discussion in the various book blogs in Malaysia.

   Chet: Yes, this is actually true everywhere: the book is so widely distributed that there is little margin for sellers. So, what might have been a huge moneymaker did a bit less well because of the competition and costs associated with launch. I’m sure JK made plenty though, as she should.
