I went into a Dymoks the other day looking for ME,
hoping a shop was doing an early release. No joy on that.
Something I did see was suprising. Even 30 years after it's
original release, Magician was the number three best seller in
that store.
Great effort Ray.

Seems like a brilliant marketing idea to me - if the
publishers aren't doing it on purpose, they ought to be.
Have the book tour a week before the public release,
making the book available at the stores on the tour even
though it's before the formal release date. It
compensates stores for hosting the tour (by increasing
local sales) and encourages them to promote it locally,
which can only help for PR for the book in general.
Not sure if their contracts with sellers like Amazon or
even just other bookstores that aren't hosting a tour
would allow them to do that or not - but it's a great
idea.
I remember Talon of the Silver Hawk had a few copies with an
extra page in them that Ray had hand-signed - I brought a
copy (without that extra page) that I'd bought from the UK
to a US bookstore signing, found one of those copies on the
shelf, and bought it, too. Wish I could afford that kind of
trick these days...!
