I love Amazon. Only ten years ago finding these books might have taken a summer of driving up and down the region and rooting through often badly organized stacks in often unpleasant used book stores. Today, with the pushing of a few buttons they're at my home in splendid condition at reasonable prices within a a few days. I'm just not sad about the passing of so many of the book traders and junk stores that my reading habit necessitated me frequenting. And what with gas being what it is and the Staten Island to New Jersey bridge tolls being pushed up to $12 Amazon looks all the better. Woo hoo!
Any comments, pro or con?
