thanks Sandy! I'm looking forward to checking out all the suggestions
from this thread. when i shop for non fiction books, I usually have
titles in mind, but for fiction books i'm usually a shelf browser,
which is totally overwhelming sometimes. Although it is temptingly
convenient to shop online, I almost always buy from my local,
independent used book stores. m
