This is Melissa Mytinger, marketing director at Cody's Books in Berkeley, host of Neil's July 2 mega-reading.
I've just seen from here at home that Neil mentions he doesn't know whether Cody's is or is not taking pre-orders for CORALINE. Yes, of course we are. And we've taken quite a few to date.
Pre-orders may be telephoned to 510.845.7852, emailed to info@codysbooks.com, or placed in either of our store locations in Berkeley.

So there. It looks like Barnes and Noble in New York are the only ones not taking pre-orders.
