I suppose many fellow retailers around the world, especially the ones with local translations (I *hate* the term 'localisation') are wondering about the long term interest for customers of the books they currently have. I do, for sure, and I manage my inventory with extra caution - I keep having out of stock the PH 3.0 anyway... At the moment, I keep repeating customers the mantra that "3.5 is not a new version of the game, is just an amelioration of it so nothing you own will be obsolete". I noticed a great interest for the new MM, due to its new enlarged size and so many new monsters (please note that MM II was never translated into Italian however and that Monsters of Faerun was perceived 'for FR only' by many customers)  and in the same time I am very careful with orders of 'new' books. I'm sure many other retailers worldwide are doing this and in particular any book being distributed in June and July will have a though time getting in stores. I anticipate a strong flood of 'clearance sales' from publishers and distributors - I already noticed robust listings from Diamond/Alliance for many D&D titles (especially the splat books about classes) and d20 titles being sold at a very low price.</blockquote>
