All of those maps, diagrams, pictures, and I think subconsciously the heft of the book just makes print a better option for me. Barnes and Noble was already one of the few places with a decent selection. Guess it's interlibrary loan for me.Buriedbybooks https://www.blogger.com/profile/13945897945845383252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951562957483519143.post-20205016664230175862012-01-27T07:05:55.408-08:002012-01-27T07:05:55.408-08:00I can relate.

The only thing I appreciate about my local indie bookstores (since most are not genre-fiction friendly) is that I can take my child there to shop for books rather than toys.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414384560097630774noreply@blogger.com
