It would be an interesting case, however, I'm not sure that it could be considered a stolen good. The publisher did send the books to the bookstore to be sold. They said, don't sell it until the 16th of July. Some twit opened a box early and they all sold out of that box. Stolen may be a bit extreme, unless of course it was written directly in the contract that selling the books prior to the release date would constitute the theft of said books. If the store paid for the shipment, they aren't stolen anymore. See the previous posters comments of a sale taking place. I give you money for goods or services You give me the goods or services Transaction complete. That's a sale. But who cares, I have my copy reserved at 35% off. I don't care if I get it on day 1....I probably will, and have it read that day, but I'll be fooked if I'm going to be there at midnight just to get my copy...cuz then I'm going to bed right after. Ummm...can't read in my sleep......yet But I'm working on it...already groking Slashdot in my sleep :-)
