by I’ve read pieces of Fables but want to read it in order all the way through. I need Fables Deluxe Edition Two (or I’d settle for the trade paperbacks with the same issues) so I called local comic shop first. They don’t have it in. I looked online — Amazon is out of stock so I jumped over to Barnes and Noble online.
They have it – great! Price online is discounted just like at Amazon. Oh and hey – B&N has this button labeled PICK ME UP which lets you know if one of their physical stores has it in stock. And lo and behold one nearby does. But there’s a catch — it’s not the same price there – it’s full price at $29.99. That’s just… weird. Doesn’t B&N want to sell books? Why would they make me pay more if I get it at the store? I’m sure there’s a cost-driven reason that makes sense to B&N accountants BUT it doesn’t make any sense to me as a customer.
Anyhow I got the non-deluxe trade version from Amazon instead.
