“Hereville” sighted in a bookstore! Photographic evidence!
UPDATE 3: Whoops, it’s not The Bookery! My bad — I’ve been to Ithaca only a few times, and I got the names confused.
The bookstore that may have been the first in the nation to sell a copy of Hereville (and was certainly the first to sell one to my sister!) is BUFFALO STREET BOOKS. So thank you, BUFFALO STREET BOOKS. I promise to stop in and buy something next time I visit my sister!
(I’ve also been in The Bookery, IIRC, and it’s also a very nice story — but it only has used books, and it doesn’t have a graphic novel section.)
UPDATE 2: Or was Anderson’s Bookshop in Illinois the first? We may never know!
UPDATE: The possibly first-in-the-nation bookstore to sell Hereville is The Bookery. I’ve been in the Bookery, and it’s a great bookstore, with a graphic novel selection that emphasizes really good independent comics.

Although the official release date isn’t until November first, apparently a few bookstores managed to get copies well in advance of that… including one in Ithaca, New York, where my sister Allison found (and bought) a copy on the shelf! She emailed me a photo:
That’s my nephew Silas and my niece Jemma holding a copy and generally acting adorable. This is all very exciting!

Hi, Judy! Nice to see you. 🙂
Thanks for the info. I thought it might be the Bookery from the photo, but I wasn’t sure.

I picked my copy up last Wednesday at my local comic book store here in California.
