Definitely discriminatory. I thought about that when I heard that they were releasing the book on a Friday/Saturday. I think you should write to both Scholastic and B&N. Especially B&N, who are the ones causing you the grief over your reserved copy.
I didn't reserve a copy -- although I do have a Brit/Canadian version coming in the next week from amazon.ca. However, I got a copy from a local independent children's bookstore. Paid full price, but that's okay. I had budgeted for both these copies.
The US copy that I own now will be handed on to a currenly unemployed friend who can't afford to buy the hard cover. After she's done, she'll hand it over to someone else, or I'll take it to the local library. I'll either donate it (it's a very small branch), or stand in the kids area and see if I can give it away.
