Finding books

I'm sorry I fell silent again. Early July, I found out that the local borders was closing as quickly as they could empty out their store. {pause} They closed on the 21st of this month. They're THE big bookstore in town - the only one to have a science fiction and fantasy section. So I've been rather upset. {half-smile}

I've also been looking into options. The local options are poor for assorted reasons, from too small to too unweildy. (The public library is big, but they aren't set up to help readers find fantasy. {small smile})

That leaves on-line options. I've been using on-line sorces to fill some of the gaps Borders misses, but now I need to cover things a lot more thoroughly. So far it looks rather confusing. If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them. {Hopeful Smile}

    http://www.otherchangeofhobbit.com/ is our local sci-fi/fantasy store, and they DO ship. (Scroll down the page: under the map, there's a link to rest of the old website, which has ordering info.)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just bookmarked that site. It does look promising. {BIG SMILE}

    Yes, that's me--I guess I should have added my name :-)

    Thanks. The first time I meet a friend under a new name on the net, I wonder. Now that I know, I'm fine. Enough of my friends and relatives have several net-names, I'd better be used to it. {SMILE, wink, BIG SMILE}
