Writing 102: Books

I spoke with Anthony at the bookstore, who told me they failed to order my books, even though the order had been submitted in writing last year. He said he might have a "few copies" of each, although the only ones for sure that they have some of is Hacker (I personally observed this).

They ordered the books while I was there and said they would be in early next week.
