I think that you have a problem with your store. I was just in a
Waldenbooks yesterday and they had Technobable there. And I got it there a
few weeks ago, AFAIK when it first came out. The Barnes and Noble up the
street had it too. Talk to the manager, maybe they just don't order them at
that store because of low volume. Even if they don't order it in bulk, they
should be able to special order it for you. I know most of the chains
around here, including this B&N, will pre-order it for you, so you get it
first.
