I used to read books like this [The Hypnotist by M.J. Rose] before I discovered smutty worlds filled with vampires and shape shifters. But this book reminded me I liked to read books like this.

what happens if you shopdrop your book and it is not in the Barnes&Noble system and someone tries to buy it? What does the clerk do? Throw the book away or try to put it in the system since it does have an ISBN number and is available for purchase through them but just not in their system at the time?
