where they sell new books. Books like that seem to fall off the
truck all the time in New York.
Like I said, a book like that is supposed to be kept under seal until
release date. Obviously the seal was porous, so it’d be interesting
to know how it happened.
Long ago The Nation got sued for breaking an embargo on, hmm, was it
Gerald Ford’s memoirs or something. The suit got thrown out, but it
was a bit of a coup for the NYT to get a copy.
