Party + Books Go Together?

The Livingston Barnes & Noble will stay open late on September 19 so customers can be among the first to pick up the new book Brisingr. (Brisingr is the third book in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle.)

It officially goes on sale at 12:01 a.m. on September 20, so to meet the technical sale date, the store will stay open really late.

The new Barnes and Noble store at Livingston Mall will also host a Brisingr Release Party on September 20 at 2 p.m.

I don’t know how much Barnes & Noble Livingston Mall will be selling the new book Brisingr for, but Amazon has is for $15 with free shipping.

In addition, in the past, I know that Amazon has shipped pre-sale books early so that you get it in the mail the actual day of the release, making the difference between buying from Amazon and from the local bookstore the fact that you’ll have it delivered to you vs. you have to get in the car, go to the store, wait in line and then drive back home.

If you have Amazon Prime, it’s definitely worth buying from Amazon since you’l be guaranteed to have it this week with Free Express Shipping upgrades.
