A few readers from the U.S. have written to tell me that they haven’t been able to find Another Kind of Cowboy in their local bookstore. I’m not going to speculate as to why that might be. It could be that the booksellers wanted to avoid a frenzied situation of the type that young Potter fellow caused. Maybe they were worried about rampaging dressage aficionados stomping through the store, turning canter pirouettes at the drop of a hat and using their whips to tickle customers. It’s possible.
Anyway, if your store doesn’t carry the book, the best way to get them to do so is to special order it. And if you are all about the online shopping and spend all your free time playing Scrabulous, perusing the wares at Anthropologie and reading Micheal K on Dlisted, then you can order the book at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders Books and Music, Powells, or your much loved local independent (if they have an online division).
Some things are worth… ordering.
