The book is now up for advance order on one of my favorite bookstores, Powells.com, the online concern of the Portland, Oregon independent store. (If you've ever been there, you'll know it makes New York's Strand look like a newsstand.)
They are not offering the discount available at Amazon.com, but if you like supporting independently owned businesses while still enjoying the convenience of online shopping, Powell's is a great place to do it.
If non-Amazon corporate giants are your bag, the book is also up at Barnes & Noble's online store, but something struck me as curious. If you do a search for my book on the main page, the search results do not list my book first even if you use the exact title. In fact, my book comes up sixth, after three other wedding books, Kate Spade's book Style, and a mystery book called A Groom with a View.
The number one book in BN.com's search results is another groom's wedding guide, published by Barnes & Noble Books. I'm not saying the word conspiracy, but it struck me as odd that using the exact title of a book in a search would not yield that very book as the first result.
