Thank you for the links - very interesting, especially the Bujold speech. I, too, am eagerly awaiting her next book.

My Amazon shopping basket is getting heavier and heavier ...

*g* I think I'd die without Amazon and Alibris. I've become terribly spoilt, being able to find almost any book I want somewhere on the web. I would hate to have to go back to the days of making slow, laborious enquiries by letter to various secondhand bookshops.

These days I use Abebooks much more for 2/h books (along with eBay, of course!), largely out of habit. How do you find Alibris?

[asklepia.livejournal.com]

Oh, I use abebooks as well - though for some reason I don't really like their site as much. Not sure why. I've been with alibris nearly as long as I've been with amazon (which is ten years) and I've never had a problem with either. The only problem with alibris is that there is less of an international presence, but even that is improving, and for me, it's an awful lot cheaper to get books from the US than the UK (your mail charges are astronomical).
