Here's the thing, though. Back in November, when volume 21 was coming out and I was impatiently and anxiously awaiting it, the release date was set for November 11 everywhere I looked on the internet. I thought, "Okay, so I'll wait until then." But maybe two or three days before the 11th, I discovered many people on fansites and things like that saying that it had already been released in a few stores. I called my local Borders to ask about it, and sure enough, it was in! So I ended up being able to buy it about two or three days before the "official" release date.
I was wondering, is this happening or will this happen with volume 22? I haven't heard from anyone who already has a copy or said it's already in stores, but Borders' website states the publish date as March 10. I don't know whether or not that's correct.
Also, purely out of curiosity, how DO these "publish dates" and "release dates" work, anyway? Some say it's the OFFICIAL day it can be found in stores, others have told me it's the day they begin shipping it to the stores and you may have to wait a day or so after it to actually buy what you want, and yet there are still some other people who tell me it's just an estimated time of arrival. Can someone clear this up for me?
Sorry about all the questions, and thanks to anyone who may be able to help!
