Re: [bksvol-discuss] harry potterLol! I'd be more than willing to help out with the phone tree if we're all serious about starting one. I'm nocturnal, and I'll be going to the party at midnight at Barnes and Noble to get my copy of the audio book, (I plan on reading both the EText and audio versions, there's something infinitely magical and wondrous about each) so I'll be up anyway.

There was a post on how we plan to achieve that goal. Someone will probably forward it to the list. My son Christopher (age 22) plays a supporting role as the person who races from store to door (Benetech) at 12:01 am where Carrie stands ready to begin the chop and scan. The two of them have come up with even more ingenious ways to shorten the time between when the tome is delivered and the book appears on the site. We promise to send an email to both lists as soon as the book is there. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that turns out to be before the sun rises, even on East Coast. Some members have said they may wake each other up through a phone tree when the moment arrives. Apparently those Harry Potter fans are a wild bunch! Pity the poor spouse who's on the computer innocently doing bill pay when the call comes in. "Outta my way!" the Booksharian cried, as she pounced on the chair with glee ....

Does anyone know if the new Harry Potter book is going to be available on the site Saturday like the last couple of books were? Thanks. Lisa
