What about option D?

Her book doesn't hit the shelves until Nov. 17th, but it is already being sold.

"Her memoir, "Going Rogue," will be published next month and pre-sales already have made it a national best seller."

I wouldn't consider a book published until it's published, and that isn't happening for another month.

question flagged. no response so i emailed the admin.

i don't wanna seem impatient, but i flagged the question below. it closes soon and in case you didn't get the flag, will palin's book that comes out nov 17th count for one of the things she could do?

DD

his reply - 1:48 in the afternoon - I will look into it and get back to you.

i emailed him again tonight and no response. so what was there to look into? either he was gonna count the book or he wasn't. how much longer do we have to put up with this behavior from the admin? i cashed out. goodluck to those who have money in the market.

P.S. he made wagers about an hour ago, so he's got time for that.
