"Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25" is only available online, and a lot of people missed the message.

Angry readers are leaving the University Village Barnes and Noble empty handed this afternoon.

Talk show host Glenn Beck’s new book company is offering its first book for 50 percent off.

The deal is valid Wednesday only, and fans of Beck’s and interested readers showed up to get their hands on the discounted pages.

But “Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25” is only available online, and a lot of people missed the message.

The manager of the Barnes and Noble is trying to get the word out so people stop showing up and getting upset.

The store manager said they will gladly ship the book directly when it goes on sale Aug. 9.
