I, too, have located all 3 books. I have read several chapters (8, I think - They are short.) of Thousand Splendid Suns, and cannot put it down. It is a lovely, although haunting story, and I am anxious to see how it unfolds.
I'm glad others are finding, at least, one of the three selections.
Lilypad, I have not found many bargains in the Barnes & Noble bookstores, but they do discount on line. I haven't ordered from them yet, but with a 25% discount I have to see what their shipping costs are.
I just went through the process of ordering online with Barnes & Noble and the 20% you save by buying on line becomes almost exactly what you pay in tax and shipping costs!!
The book costs the same online or in the store. Uh, goodbye B&N! Hello, library!
Gem, the Big Print version of Tom's book is $20. Don't know if you would have to order it or if it would be at your B&N, or you could have the bookstore order it for you.
I still don't have any of these books. I have checked B&N, Target, Sam's, WalMart...Today I picked up Water For Elephants at the Supermarket. Although I would like to read it, I don't want to buy it. I would buy 1000 Suns, but not hardcover. So, I was holding it, tyring to decide if I wanted to spend $10 on it...and wouldn't you know! ended up buying an entirely different book
The book I bought is called GirlSold about (I believe) human trafficking in Uganda. Africa hardships are much closer to my heart than circus performers!
Oh! wanted to add, I was also thumbing through The Coldest Winter, and it too looked compelling!
