Re: JCO: Female of the Species

Several weeks ago, the Borders Books and Music website claimed that High

Lonesome:  New and Selected Stories was expected to go on sale on Tuesday,

10 January.  Of course, I found instead The Female of the Species.  Just for

the sake of contrariness, I asked the store's manager if he knew of any reason

for the confusion.  He explained that it was "probably the author's fault...or her

publisher's"  but certainly not Borders's.  Yeah, right.  Of course I'm delighted

with my purchase nevertheless and intend to savor it slowly.  In the meanwhile

the website has been corrected.
