buying even MORE books!

<HTML>Someone please take away my credit cards! I just placed an order on Amazon Canada! I bought paperbacks of TEA and LIAGB!

I tried to order both books in paperback for Christmas presents from Amazon UK but for one thing, with postage it was WAY more than I wanted to spend and secondly, because they wouldn't even arrive before the holidays anyway!

So I wrapped up my own gently used UK paperbacks for one of my sisters. And I just had to replace them so I don't damage my wonderful 1st Edition US copy of TEA and my *signed* 1st Edition UK copy of LIAGB.

By the way, all the Amazon sites are listing WOLP already for pre-order!! Hehehe, Jasper better hurry up and finish soon! LOL</HTML>

<HTML>Hmmmm .. having looked up Schott's Original Miscellany on amazon, I'm not sure I should be allowed to have it. I already know enough useless trivia to keep people very bored as it is. Having said that, I think I know where one of my book tokens is going ...</HTML>
