    I was at the Kent State University (Kent, Ohio) bookstore over the weekend and they had a few remaindered copies of Cell for $5.99. These all had that big black remainder ink mark on the bottom of the pages, though.

    I hate that. I noticed the B&N by me does that and ruined (IMO) 1st Editions of Cell, DTVI and DTVII. I go to another B&N in a very upscale area and they don't mark the remainders at all. I think the store near me had problems with people buying the remainders, then pealing the sticker off and returning the books for full credit. That or the Manager is an idiot.

    The Barnes and Noble by me has been having Lisey's Story, Storm of the Century, DTVI, DTVII, and Blaze (all first editions) on sale for $5.98 for weeks now. I haven't been to B&N for about 2 weeks, so they may have gotten in some new titles.

    this gets my vote. how can you work in a bookstore and mark in/on a book like that? it's appalling. it's a travesty. it's, it's, it's just wrong. on so very many levels of the tower.

    I'm finding TGWLTG pop-up books (1st Printing) at our local Waldenbooks for $2.99. Still in the plastic.

    I got one for myself.

    Strangely, the grocery store Lowe's Food has unmarked remaindered copies of Duma Key here for $6.99.

    I was in PA for the weekend and went in a shop called Book Warehouse. They had fine/fine 1st editions of Cell, Duma Key, From A Buick 8, and Hearts In Atlantis for $10 each. I own copies of the first three and didn't buy the Hearts In Atlantis (I could get a better price elsewhere). Still, I thought it was cool.

    that's okay. i rescued like six copies of lisey and two copies of blaze (one for someone here and one for the big give). i'm going back for a few more copies of lisey. first editions, first printings and they're remaindered? wtf?

    I know how you feel, Brice. I feel really bad to leave them there. Do you want to start a shelter with me?

    Goshdarnit, they don't deserve to be on the remainder shelves!!!!

    I know! If I have money I buy SK books even if I have multiple copies when they are cheap.

    Thanks for the heads up on Walgreens, it took me 2 stores but I picked up 3 copies of Duma Key, $5 each? Can't go wrong on that one!

    Given that there were supposed to be a total of 1.25 million copies of Lisey's Story in the first printing, that price seems a bit high. I don't have a number of the copies of Blaze.

    Please stop buying books at Sam's. You are just making me work harder.
