And I was right to be worried.
I ordered the book Monday at about 3:15, paid extra for it to be shipped overnight, and opted against driving to Fort Worth or far North Dallas in search of a copy.
The guy at Barnes and Noble assured me that it would get here overnight.
He didn't tell me that B & N had a cutoff time, and that if you ordered after the cutoff time, it would take an extra day.
I learned that fun fact a few minutes ago when I called the store asking them to trace the shipment.
Now, I guess I will have to do something cheesy like print a color picture of the book's cover and wrap it up as a present.
Doggone it, I wanted this to be in today.
And yes, I should have ordered it last week, but I had planned on going to the office on Wednesday and Thursday instead of being stuck at home with first one, then two sick kids.
Sigh.
