It says undicolsed location in the last picture, yet we know it is New jersey somewhere, and my guess, is it is near me. After all, the dust jackets were being printed 10 minutes away from my house and 1 minute from my husbands work.....
And how hard would it be to be one of those employees!! It would be so hard not to pick up one of those books......... So many stores by me have countdowns of the days. I can not wait. I will be up so early that day hoping the delivery truck arrives. : Re: First pictures of HBP in Boxes and being packaged : Sharon June 29, 2005, 01:22:30 AM Even the boxes they are putting them in look cool, with their little do not open notices 8)
And at least we now know for sure the book is pretty thick - should keep me going for at least 3 days ;) : Re: First pictures of HBP in Boxes and being packaged : rns91294 June 29, 2005, 01:38:58 AM I didn't even think to take note of the thickness of the book!! Good thinking. Woo Hoo!!!!
I am trying to get through OotP again to get myself "caught up" with remembering things. I have 109 pages to go. : Re: First pictures of HBP in Boxes and being packaged : grecopa June 29, 2005, 02:37:56 AM 8) Thanks for posting that! 8)
And how hard would it be to be one of those employees!! It would be so hard not to pick up one of those books......... You bet it would be hard! But just think of how fast you would get fired if someone caught you reading it!: Re: First pictures of HBP in Boxes and being packaged : rns91294 June 29, 2005, 02:48:49 AM But the temptation!!!!!
: Re: First pictures of HBP in Boxes and being packaged : ferdinand_the_yak June 29, 2005, 06:39:45 AM I'm not absolutely sure looking at them as they are US editions which are slightly thinner than the nternational edition (because the book itself is bigger), but I reckon it's at least GOF size! Woohoo! ;D
