If that email exists, it went to the people in charge of the books, not me. But I'm sure they did. I know when we got the boxes of 'Deathly Hallows' they were marked all over with "DO NOT OPEN OR YOU WILL DIE" notes from Scholastic (and by "die" they meant sued into oblivion). I'm sure it is the same for the new one - though our head of the department said our shipment had not arrived yet but assured us it would be rushed in processing.
I honestly don't think it is on most of the kids radars. 170 is a joke compared to when DH came out - I think we had over 500 holds before launch day, if I remember correctly. So it is mostly adults or hardcore potterheads, which is where it belongs...and which is why I am inclined to hide it in the 800s as more of an oddity for those who do their research in than future rather than canon book 8.
