Apparently there is a big book sale in February every year in Sweden. Every book store has huge discounts on all books and the Swedes elbow to the front of the lines to get the best picks. One store in Jönköping even opened up at midnight for the diehards! My teacher suggested we pick up a book or two to help our studies so I set off to the closest bookstore.
This was at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday! The line was around the corner so I gave up!

You have to go with a partner. When you walk in the door, one person gets in line and the other one shops. Then they exchange places and the other one shops. The second shopper needs to watch the line and give the lined-up person his books before he gets to the front of the line. It is the day-after-Thanksgiving-sale method.
I hope you get some good ones.

The buddy system eh? That sounds pretty good! I stocked up on alot of books back in the states from Barnes and Noble and Target..so I am not in too much need, but I think I might give it one more try.
