Writes Michael J. Green: "Just to give you a better indication of the book's sales in NYC: I arrived at 1:30 to see that, as others have noted, Borders was sold out. I rushed to the Barnes & Noble at Union Square - sold out. A staff member was certain they had several copies yesterday, and I heard one other person ask about it. I then ran to the B&N at 8th St and 6 Ave and got the last copy they had.
"I didn't get to see the good doctor or get my book signed, but seeing the book's success firsthand was pleasing enough. And of course, as always, several supporters stayed outside Borders (in the rain) handing out literature, without anyone telling them to do so."
