I have to suppose that you were disappointed. BN has a process by which they accept (or not) books for their list from which their stores are "allowed" to order. It takes about 8 weeks. My paperback was submitted for their perusal only about six weeks ago. (It was not released until Sept. 1.) You won't find it at BN and I hope I can legitimately say, "yet." And then, once it is "accepted," not all BNs will carry it. Ah,the woes of publishers and authors!!! You can get it rather quickly from BN.com and Amazon. Unfortunately that won't fix your problem for you. I hope you thought of an Amazon gift certificate! (-:
