EC2, when books arrive here at the library, there are times there's a notation on the shipping list about the selling date which the book can't be displayed or circulated prior to that date. (Think the Harry Potter books)[/quote]
Yes, I thought that might be the case and that's why despite my looks of narrow suspicion, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, but they could've told me they couldn't put it out if that was the case. It's a private subscription library I belong to and the staff do have time to talk to their customers and form a rapport. Hmmm.... Nope. I have changed my mind. They definitely ARE reading it themselves first - LOL!
Not that I care, she says, drumming her fingers.
