[Buddha-l] Neurophysiology (was: Different criticisms...)

[Michael Paris]

Amazon does have a feature for many (but not all) books when one
can search inside and read portions of the introduction and
sometimes an excerpt if you've an A. account.

I've not found that to be very useful. In my experience one
cannot judge a book by the intro. More often than not the rest of
the book didn't live up to my expectations. 

It's difficult to do without a brick-and-mortar bookstore.
Sometimes Borders offers 30% coupons - via email of course - to
members of their "Rewards" program. It's free and a lot better
deal than Barnes & Noble's $25 "discount card" that gets you
maybe 10%. 

Better yet, fairly often Amazon doesn't offer very good discounts
on the books I want. 15-22% is not uncommon, 0% on occasion. Then
a 25-30% Borders coupon does come in very handy, even if one has
to pay local sales tax (8.25% where I live).

Being a book lover involves a lot of financial planning. <G>


Best wishes,

Michael


P.S. Buddhist content: "Katz!" In my case, that'd be "Cats!"
