Cameron Brooks and 7 other people liked Scott Bielinski's status update Scott Bielinski is starting Cormac McCarthy: Sometimes, a kind and intrepid Barnes and Noble employee will journey into the back of the store, dig through legions of boxes, and emerge with the single pre-release copy of a book — just because a customer’s daughter is cute. Today, that was my story. Thank you kind employee (and Flora).
