I used to have an Amazon.com bookstore here, which you can now find here if you really want to use it. Nobody has purchased anything through my amazon.com bookstore, and I therefore see no reason to maintain it. I myself have not purchased anything at amazon.com. I don't buy books at (near) regular price very often. I buy most of my books at Half Price Books. There has been TWO occaisions where I have had my eye on a book that I have not seen in second hand stores, and shopped for it on Amazon.com, and found it to be listed at a certain price when I started to keep my eye on it, but then listed as a higher price by the time I got around to buying it. Not only did they raise their price, but they falsified the list price which is printed on the book! For instance: Animal Speak, by Ted Andrews should cost $17.95. That is what it says ON THE BOOK. If you go to Amazon.com's description of Animal Speak it will say that the list price is $19.95. I personally find this a bit unethical. When I finally got around to purchasing the book, I bought it from Book Nook, an independent bookseller in Nebraska. There I got the book at the same price that amazon.com had originally been selling for. The books came in less than a week, I got an email when they had been shipped. It was a lovely transaction. They have probably made a life long customer of me, and now I am telling you to go there. They don't have much descriptions though. My recomendation is to browse Amazon's website, read the customer reviews, make the decision about what you going to buy, and buy it at BookNook.com
