   No problem.  I would.. as they say, "shoot, shovel and shut     
   up".   ;)   
      
   The only time I learned about a violator was the one that I     
   picked up on. It was a big box Indigo.ca.  I had learned that     
   some people had already received their copies from online     
   orders of something that was not supposed to be released/    
   shipped until a specific date. I was a little livid.  I called     
   the publisher/distributor and complained. I had copies of     
   people's exchanges on facebook to prove it (people discussing     
   that their book had arrived and commenting how beautiful it     
   was inside).  They were not too happy to hear that one outlet     
   violated the laydown date.
