[Buddha-l] Finding books [was: all sorts of other subject lines]

[Michael Paris]

Margaret, I know what you mean. 

When my wife and I married, our biggest problem was finding space
for our two libraries. We have quite a few bookshelves, mostly to
hold the TBR (to-be-read) piles. 

Ah, the joy of books.

When you consider the cost of, say, wine or hard liquor or going
to movies, books aren't so expensive at all. 

Buddhist content: I have Richard Hayes' book on skeptical
Buddhism. 

Speaking of Amazon, the shipping and handling charge for used
books just went up $0.50, reflecting the rise in postal rates. So
the rock-bottom minimum is $4.00 for a used book.

Yeah, sometimes the one-cent books are actually OK. Bit of a
mystery why anyone would list a book for a penny, but there you
are. I paid more than a penny for Dr. Hayes' learned tome.
