Reservations for book 7 being taken at Borders book stores

We have been receiving numerous emails letting us know that Borders book stores in Indiana and New York are now accepting reservations for the last Harry Potter book, even though no information has been announced in reference to the title or a release date.
From an email:
Here in Bloomington, Indiana, at the Borders Book Store at 2634 E. 3rd St, they are accepting reservations for Book 7. I was there for other business yesterday and was surprised to see the reservations sign at the information desk. When I asked about it, the manager said they couldn't take reservations yet because they didn't have a release date. I pointed out the sign to him, which he was surprised to see out. One of the other managers had written a note on the back that they were starting to take reservations, even though the release date hadn't been made public. They had also written a number (an SKU?), which he entered, and sure enough - put my name on the list. I don't know if this is happening nationwide, but the reservation process has at least started here.
Thanks to everyone who emailed and we will update with any additional information we find out.
On another note, a very interesting read can be found here
in which predictions are made on the last book in the series.

Yeah, book seven!! Yesterday I was on the web site of "hugendubl", a German book store and they also started prereservation! But just online. When I went into the shop in Munich, they told me, that they can't put me on the list yet. Well, I think I'll by it myself anyway.

Interesting to hear. I wonder if this is an indication that the annoucement on Book 7 is close. Many have speculated that we would hear around Christmas or New Years. One can hope.

This is most peculiar. Does this news suggest that we will see book seven next year, and its publication will be announced shortly? O_o

Ok.. but what if it doesn't come out for like 3 years?? Then this would be hillarious, haha. But really, I'm sort of dreading the last book.. I hope this doesn't make me sound like a geek or whatever, but Harry and everyone else are practically friends of mine.. I don't want to lose them =(

Ooo it seems that the end looms near! I agree that I will meet it with great excitement and anticipation and sadness as well! I definitely will not preorder though. I like standing in line at midnight with all the fellow fans!

Oooh that's cool... over the in the Uk we've had nothing though, so I think maybe some stores are overreacting just a little bit. Could be wrong though.

I think someone is getting alittle too excited because seriously we don't even know when the book is coming out. For all we know we could signing up for book that won't be released for another two years!!!!!

I defiantly want to reserve my copy, but I would like to at least know the title and the release date first. I think the executives of businesses are already seeing $ signs.

Well, I looked online and was not able to find anything, so I guess I will actually have to make the trek to the store to see what I can uncover...

If there are reservations in so many stores already,we'll probably soon know the release date. And it probably will be soon - who would pre-order a book that will come out in two or three years?
The predictions about the last book are indeed interesting,but I hope Jo doesn't follow the pattern. I want unexpected things to happen in book seven. Like Harry becoming friends with Draco. : )

Good news! It is never too early to start reserving your copy, it's not as if the book is in question of being published.

Tenth Weasley says:
I liked the article linked at the end about the hero's journey and predictions for book 7 - the author's take on it results in Harry defeating Voldemort and living to tell about it, so... I fully support this theory!
Pre-order? No thanks - lines stress me out.

Heh, this all seems like good news. There is no way they would taking pre-order unless they had some sorta inside information, very interesting.
