Happy Saturday Y'all...
Good your day is what you need it to be...
Want to recommend an online used book seller... No not that one...
Abe Books... I originally found them when I was looking for a book that was out of print for my father...
They're an online database basically of books on hundreds of small book sellers across the country...
From someone here last night I heard about the Books of Magic series from Gaiman... Looked on Azn and couldn't afford them there $50-70 per...
1/2
Searched online and found them on Abe at three different stores... All told $45 including shipping...
Anyway...
OH the book for my father was The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant...
Lost to me now after my brothers emptied the house...
He read that for years bit by bit cover to cover... Wrote on the margins throughout... He'd go back to it multiple times... His first copy got lost and I hunted it down.. This was more that 25 years ago now... And they helped then...
Be well...

Ah... Well... Had no clue....
They didn't buy all the little guys that it points you to... So if they can keep the database alive... I'm OK with it..
🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the check...
I only just found out last fall. Have been buying from them for a long time.

Yes, Amazon bought Abe Books in 2008, according to Wikipedia.
