Not my proudest moment but…..

Needed a second Arnold book as a gift for my brother in law, so got a little sneaky and hid one then came back and got a coffee and checked out over there with it.

Lol, no judgement here….I can understand, was hard to leave a stack of Schwarzenegger and Stewart’s on the table, but left them for the next folks that come along. Basically had free rein of the whole table with only one Schwarzenegger being sold by the time I left. There was one other collector there who was basically buying one each of all the big names… Not sure if he missed out through the year or is on eBay now lol…

Store had limit-one policy on signed editions

Plenty at my store. It was busy. Last year I was the only one there. Got Arnie, Stamos, peele, Stewart. Arnie was behind the counter. One Stewart left. A few empty spots, unsure what was in those. Saw some people with huge stacks. Matthew Ms behind counter and didn't see any signed Slys. gonna wait until next week for the 50%, have a feeling Jada even Stamos, Paris and many others are hitting that list.

Oh, and a giant stack of our buddy Miley BB! I think and hope the word is out on those and no one is trying to get them. I know B&N will keep many autopens in stock and never remove. asked about Portman and they said at mine if it wasn't on the table or behind the counter it wasn't there. The kids section is upstairs and that was just too far for me to ride up and down an escalator LOL. There was something signed behind the counter many younger kids/teens were waiting to get.

I wonder if our Barnes & Noble had any of the big names. Probably too late now to check at 11:08. It’s quite a drive too so probably not worth it to go and likely be disappointed. I am curious what they had at 8:00am at our local store.

every store will be slightly different. you might be able to call and check before going. don't know if they would hold anything. my local one seemed much more friendlier than normal and helpful. they had someone on the floor checking stock and letting the cashiers and stockers know how many were left of certain ones. one year, most of the books were on a metal stocking shelf. I found a few that way. I'm spoiled and have a store 1.5 miles away, and another about 7 from there

Isn't the 50% off sale right around New Year's Day? Is there a other 50% off sale that I am unaware of?

you may be right, I thought it was pretty quickly after the BF deals. I tried to check my order history, and it's a little convoluted to see what was 1/2 price at what time of the year and where the discount showed up on the receipts.

There should still be some decent titles still floating around for that sale. I think I found jamie foxx, Geena davis, ai weiwei, bella twins, and others for half price over the last year or two. Obviously the big names will be long gone.
