Sadly, with no success. In fact, the office gal was unbelievably rude on the phone when I simply questioned why they would be able to get my first book but claimed they couldn't get subsequent ones. What's really weird is that I had a signing there with my first book and the manager was thrilled with the turnout and they kept buying books and couldn't keep them on the shelves.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't believe it when this gal actually hung up on me.
