I often read ebooks without covers and then look them up elsewhere on the internet, especially if I'm going to write about them here. The handful of free ebooks sites I visit owe their lot to Project Gutenberg so basically one is looking at the same inventory of books, journals and magazines.Prashant C.

Perhaps, I ought to have displayed both. <br /><br />Secondhand bookstores are disappearing from Bombay too and the one I frequent is actually a small regular bookshop that happens to sell used books and magazines. The store owner displays some hundred-odd books everyday though he has far more than that number locked up in a room nearby. <br /><br />I have only bought a couple of new ebooks online so far, never physical editions.Prashant C.

Hard to find a ...The Max Brand cover is handsome. <br /><br />Hard to find a 2nd hand bookseller with westerns here. And I miss the book sales at the library in this little desert town because I so rarely go there. <br /><br />My weakness is shopping at AbeBooks and bookcloseouts.com. What saves me being inundated is letting books collect in the shopping cart and waiting for another day to actually buy them. The gradually increasing tide, however, are the review copies of new books that come in.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.com
