Walmart? Really?

The Get Up Off Your Knees book is beginning to show up for sale at all sorts of odd places on the Web. Buy.com has it, Walmart promises they will later, and then there are sites like Powell's and Blackwell's (I can't figure out how to link directly to their listing). My guess is that all of this is almost totally fictive, especially since some of the listings mirror early misinformation that appeared at a major online seller. Although if it interests you, you can keep up with additions at FetchBook.
Cowley, on the other hand, knows where actual books are and can send them to you immediately.

I'm sure this will all get straightened out, but it's an interesting glimpse of bookselling today.
