It is possible that they might not have had them when you inquired.
I know Border's had them over the weekend but the B&N I work at
didn't have them in till this morning. The boxes come with a
sheet suggesting a possible marketing idea - display, from right
to left, 1 copy of the book backwards, 1 copy spined, and then 1 copy
with the front cover showing. This way it will spell out Mason & Dixon.
