Hi All, not sure where to put this, thought this might work. A friend of mine sent me a book with the above title. It is written by Trish Holland and Christine Ford, and is a Golden Book. It is a wonderful little book with great illustrations of a soldiers night before chirstmas. I have looked high and low around local bookstores and online to see about ordering them. I just wanted to let you all know that if you are interested in them, my Barnes and Noble bookseller had them in the kids section, on a table with Christmas books, but it was on the very bottom and to the back of the shelf.

Books a million also said they had them in stock, but three of us, me and two clerks looked for 20 minutes and couldn't find any. Borders said they didn't have them, and none of the surrounding stores did either, so they would have to order them, but the warehouse didn't show them in stock, so who knew if they would get them!

The site that I work at (Mission San Luis) is having a book fair with Barnes and Noble -which is why I was there, we wouldn't have been there otherwise today, as it is pouring rain!- through December 2nd, so we were looking to buy our book gifts today so that the site would get the % of the sale from the store.  I just stumbled on the books looking for something for my nephew, they were listed as not being in store when I looked online. I was able to get three of them, so I can send one each to my groups!

If you are going to be buying something from Barnes and Noble, you can give them the book fair number and they will send a percentage of your sale to our Friends organization.  Doesn't cost you anything, the store donates the percentage.  It works nation wide. Mission San Luis book fair ID number: 369454 

I think it would be a great idea for this site too. I don't have a clue how it got set up, but it can't be that difficult! Someone figured out here!

Thanks

Heidi

Heidi -

FYI - there is a bookstore in NYC - family owned - called The Strand - www.strandbooks.com - last time I checked they had five copies of 'The Soldiers' Night Before Christmas' at $3.00 - used - used can mean they just bought it from another bookstore or something else.  

 You can talk to a clerrk who will actually pull the book for you and tell you what it looks like: ie clean, marked up etc., and then if you want it walk it to the checkout so they can ship it to you.  At least they were still doing that last time I ordered from them. 

Hope this is helpful,

Ann

Edit - forgot to mention - enter the title in the search box to get the page where the book is listed:)
