Plenty of those book at the Mt. Laural Wawa. Purchased 3 for birthdays coming up next month.
Great Book at great price.

I’m surprised that there aren’t any comprehensive book reviews available online yet, and it’s August 8.

Right now, I’m struggling financially and don’t know if the book is so good that I would want to spend that $10 that could put gas in my car or food on my table.

Harry was a great man and will be missed by millions.

People,

I feel that the fact that Mrs. Molloy did not find the book, is because she is located in Ocean County, which the government defines as the “New York Metropolitan area.” It is the same reason the Dunkin’ Donuts in Manahawkin only has Giants/ Jets or Mets/ Yankees paraphernalia in their store too. Mrs. Molloy would find it easier to find the book in Smitville, which is in Atlantic County.

I am going on a mission tomorrow to try and see if the book is in Monmouth, Middlesex, Mercer Somerset and Hunterdon County Wawas to use for my blog: http://nsjersey.blogspot.com

My guesses?

Monmouth, Middlesex, Somerset – definite NOs
Hunterdon – porbably – NO
Mercer – YES

The author has a great line in the preface. He says that if the reader has any criticisms of the book, “jot them down on the back of a $20 bill and send it to me”.

Rosemary – I had the same issue at the first 2 wawas I went to. It seems kind of hit or miss at this point. The one cashier asked me what a “Kalas book” is, and said she had no idea. It made me feel bad for teenage non baseball fans.

I just asked at two Wawas in Tuckerton and Little Egg Harbor, NJ and nobody had heard of the Harry Kalas book. It may be a good idea for them to let their employees know this information!

Great post! Looking forward to grabbing the book, the Tastykakes and a Wawa beverage.
