Saw a few copies in my local Dollar Tree today. Just a heads up for anyone with one nearby that hasn't read it yet.

Oh, I know, I was SHOCKED - I never expected them to have an author I liked - and in hard back too! I bought one for a friend, even though I already own a copy. They also had book 10 of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Maybe Tor was getting rid of excess inventory.

The way Dollar Tree works--

A place like Wal-Mart overstocks something, and Dollar Tree takes it off their hands for just enough to resell for profit.

I got it a few months ago from a Dollar Tree. I wasn't shocked, because all it takes is one miscalculation by an inventory manager.

EmpSquared - it's not always inventory from a Wal-mart or other retailer. Sometimes it's a wholesaler or even manufacturer (Publisher) who overproduced and doesn't want to store the stuff anymore.

Anyway - I've never even seen an OSC book at Wal-Mart, so I was pretty shocked to find it in Dollar Tree. Happy though!
